What truck is this.
I'm 99% sure though that the Green truck is the same as this one..
1964 AEC Mandator

She's also sporting a non-factory bumper and bullbar.
The cab has the Australian or Tropical cab modifications of extra vents for the footwells.
Note the rear-hinged quarter-vent windows, the cab vents in the sides and the front .. and along with top-hinged, wind-out windscreens .. all those features made operating in the North of Australia, a substantially more enjoyable experience, on 45

I'll have a stab. The grey truck is an AEC Monarch MK II, built from 1933 to 1939. Someone has nicked her grille, no doubt for scrap.

Really liking both of them, Lang. Great find.
Seed, that's a cool looking Mandator. Does the rest of her look as good?

Hi lang, More details I think its 1937 but someone with access to manuals would have a better idea. Chassis no.0346527. Total length 5 meters. Width 2.2meters. Front overhang 400 ml. Rear 500ml. I just included a couple of pics of the 1967 mandator, motor is partially dismantled gudgion clip went down the side of no.2 sleeve on a rebuild a long time ago radiator, gearbox diff etc all there for parts. All a long way from Brisbane. I have a very nice large camp and shed if anyone wants to visit. Yes I am open to options. The old truck has no rust and starts and goes well so it quite unique. But its a lorry, fun to drive at its top speed of 30 mph. I envisage an army style ute back on it and a cleanup would go well at rallys. I will send another email with the bus details.
