Fordson WOT2 15cwt truck

[Mike K]

Here is a WOT2D I half owned in the early 80's with a fellow MV lover .

It came from Redbank , up near St. Arnaud , in central Victoria . We restored it over 3 years . its fitted with a later windscreen , it should have aero screens . The D model was fitted with the fixed side body , it was a VAN model . The GS version ( A,C,E,F,H ) had the drop side body .

This pic was taken at Corowa in 1983 , we drove it up on a stinking hot day , it boiled , but we got there . It was very fast , cruised at 50 MPH easily . Didn't like hills though .The engine in it ran sweetly , didn't need a rebiuld . It had been a CFA fire truck . We actually got two of them at Redbank . both D models

I owned another one , I ( found near Canowndra in NSW) , a H model . I towed it to Cargo to store , its now owned by a guy at Cambeltown NSW .

there are around five restored ones here now .
