Discovery outback QLD Australia

[Darren Witty]

I have been offered this vehicle. The vehicle is located in outback Queensland Australia so I have to decide if the recovery is worth the expense.

Darren how far would you have to travel ?

Darren,

No rust, 90% complete, late model Chev, (confirm please KW), looks like you get the rims in the tray.

Nice tray less pioneer tools, Damn... I wonder where they went!

Even the spare tyre holder (how rare are they???)

I say... go for it.. a truck this complete is very hard to find, a super easy resto..

Looks like the hard yards of a 12V conversion are already done with a Holden FC/EK? regulator already there.

Get all the wheel nuts etc off the seat there... everything will matter.

The Canadians are already jealous!

Looks to me like a late Ford dash. I'd say it's not necessarily late production. In fact the lack of a wooden steering wheel points to 1942 production.

But it is quite a gem of a sunshine roof C15A with so little rust and so complete.

Keith it only has the small inspection hole above the master cylinder, so I'd agree with you early sun roof chev.

I'm no blitz expert, and I know that rust is always worse in real life than in photos, but that looks like a retty darn good cvehicle, and reasonably complete. Pending distance, go for it!

Here is the formula you need

Distance x Time + Mates = Adventure (priceless event)

With a full size 4x4 you would be able to stick that one on a good size car trailer without to much effort. It is only fuel from there on.

I suggest a thread on longest recovery; being the type to boast heres my latest effort from last weekend

2850 km in a weekend with 10 hours spent obtaining the parts and a sticky beak at a collection + 1 night at the Pub.

Recovered engine full drive train and suspension for my Toyota FQ15.

Thanks to Rob for sharing the wheel it was a good weekend out.
