Hi Guys ,
heres some photos of my recent finds in my area .














can anyone i.d which models they are and the features that make them that model ?? i am still learning to i.d the cabs .

Cheers Plushy

1st one is a Chev C15 2wd 15cwt. Clues to ID are the rectangular vent door on side of cowl indicating GM/H build, the single straight grab handle near roof hatch, and the non-driven hub on front axle makes it a 2wd.

2nd is also a GM/H built Chev, but limited clues as to size, etc. Is that a crane on the back? Probably a long wheelbase then, a C60L, or possibly a mid wheelbase C60S/C30.

3rd is a late Ford (43/44/45), again presence of crane suggests F60S/F30 or F60L.

4th one. Not a lot to be seen here on this truck, except the original mirror!

5th one is also a Chev. Straight grab bar on roof, and Condenser Can on LHS guard is a Chev-only feature. Fords had them under the LHS headlight. This truck appears ready to start, just swing on the crank handle!

6th one, also a Chev, straight grab bar.

Not only a C15 but a Wireless Signals (Aust) which has been cut down.

Would have looked like this one in the Bandiana museum:

Seems there is lots of vehicles resting there.

No early retirement in sight for this old girl.

Gjamo,
This old girl is Keiths old F60l that he drove to YOTB. It looks like Matt is working it hard.

Hi all
The owner of this Chevrolet Blitz C60L near Ballarat contacted me today and said that if this vehicle is not sold within the next week or so it will go to the scrappie in Ballarat. I have his contact details so PM me ASAP for details. Let's not lose this one. I have no other connection with the owner apart from trying to save this vehicle.

Hi all
Well that was a good result. One telephone call and my dear collector friend came to the rescue and another one is saved from the scrappies.

Was this another 'over the border' incursion from South Australia?

....And here's why....



See if you don't keep the Ford ones caged, the beast in them runs away.

Chev's just rust.

Funny you posted the photo today Bob as i was out there late this arvo to see if it was picked up .

I could use a tilt tray like that to pick up the F15 i bought last week .

[Keith Webb]

Thanks to Bob posting a pic of the dash we can confirm it was a WO96, or Truck, 3-ton Garage Aust as noted in the Chevrolet WO Database thread.
