Well here she is, rescued from a paddock a few Kms from home. The truck is in fair condition with a little rust in the cab and a lot of changes at the hands of the RFS in NSW. The RFS bought it from the auctions and when they finished with it a saw mill in central NSW used it as a fire truck. It was then purchased as a recovery vehicle by a local operator. It had been in the paddock for a number of years and was just starting to suffer from the metal maggots. Got it just in time.If the chassis number is a guide then it was the first cargo Mk4 built. When it arrived it only took a battery and a few strokes on the hand primer to get it to fire up. The tray is missing the sides, posts, seat hurdles, tail board, bows and canopy. The tool bin was gone, but have been lucky and found one. The tyres are all buggered, with only the spare any good, but have found enough to get it on the road. The brakes have gone to lunch ( as expected ) as well. The winch is ok, apart from a sloppy drive flange and worn out brake lining. There is a lot of cleanup work and minor panel beating to do, but it could have been a lot worse. It's got 36000 miles on the clock. More in due course.
