Default Chevrolet CGT No.8 with limber

Keith, I'm sure you have seen this one before. I ran across it at http://jeepdraw.com/Brisbane_Swap.html, which features some more pictures of other interesting CMP's as well.

H.

Default CGT

Yes, I've seen pictures of it - but not actually seen it in the metal as it were.



Here's one taken in 1985. The toolbox is from a Wireless van.

From a page of pictures on my site.

Euan would be interested to see this pic from the above site:

What do you make of the hubs on the limber?

Default Hmmmmm

Looks like someone has slipped a light trailer axle underneath it... the mudguards are wrong too.

Default Limber

you got my attention, I thought my limber was missing a lot till I saw this one. The box looks good but the axle , guards, perch & spring brush guards have been fabricated or are missing.
On the subject of hubs if any one knows of a pair I'm looking for odd bits to complete my project.

Have you tried Belfield's backyard? He did have about 5 or 6 limbers stacked in a heap.

Default Re Limber

Yes there are a few bits astray, guards, axle, springs, etc but it is on the road. Maybe a work in progress, like the No.8.
Euan you need to go west...
