Um with an oxy, 9" grinder and plasma cutter. Depended on who wanted what at the time, ha ha. I made some new airtank brackets and I think some of my best welding, they are a bit flash as you can't see them but I made them for a special reason as well. Will get pictures next week.

Thanks for the picture, I thought they were more a fancier writing than something you'd find in Word.

Thanks,

Mitch

I bought two flaps from the Australian chapter of the American historical truck society (?) at trucks in action. I got the last two they had for $50 each. They too would do a minimum run but presumably they do it semi regularly .

And it's finished!

Na, I was bored so I drew it on the computer for some pinstriping ideas. But we did pick er' up from the painters this morning and we got the lights and mudgaurds on straight away once we got to the shed.
Camber :D



Enjoy.

Ha, no, it was derated back in the late 80's for cheaper rego. But she's now a yard tug with no rego.
