Putz:
You do have to rub it in don't you. Tomorrow is Nov Ist here and I am up to my ass in leaves, dying annuals and other such flora that has to get cleaned up for winter and there is no hope to work on any outside fun projects until April/May. I cannot add months too well but I believe your November is about our June. Must be nice to be living in OZ. Bill

No doubt we will see some tantalising glimpses of another old blitz about to be dragged out of its resting place. Did you by any chance, spot it from the air whilst filming Spits or Meteors? I think these air-to-air photo sessions are an excuse for a reconnaisance mission to pinpoint more relics Richard |

Faint praise indeed but at least you managed to keep it down. Update on what we found? Not yet, but soon... Those Aussie readers should have a look at "Just Trucks" mag for a clue.

Re. V8 Jeep
Hi Richard
Contacted the owner but he didn't do the conversion. However what took place was the engineering of an adaptor plate between the V8 transmission and the Jeep transfer case. It was obviously a skillful operation. If I get back to see the vehicle I climb under to see if I can get more detail. Bob |

Thanks Bob, Was just interested to know if it was the original gearbox, because I wondered if it could put up with the extra power. Richard |

CGT interior
The interior layout as far as the back seat is identical to the #8 except the roof is higher in the crew section.
The rear has a lot more space.

rear view
At the rear are double doors and a canvas blind. The crew seat in the previous picture covers a locker.
The lower storage bins are for POL cans, so a useful reserve could be carried. Although fitted with standard fuel tanks, the truck comes with a pair of 21 gallon tanks which were used on gun tractors, the F60T and C60X.

We could try the tug of war with the Carrier for good measure too, along with high speed cornering, point of balance on hillsides... the possibilities are endless. Just make sure I'm there to film it.
