Here you go, Sarge. I couldn't find an Aussie one so had to go to the UK.

There's a Leyland one of these in the back streets of Wubin, WA (well, there was in 2004!) but I suspect that's too far.

TS, I'm road tripping to West Wyalong next week so will keep an eye out for anything on the way. Know where there's a few TKs and other stuff I want to get pics of.

TS, on the way back from our road trip next week, I'm hoping to pick up a TK windscreen found by my brother-in-law. The guy we're buying it off has an Austin fire truck and a few other bits and pieces. He might know where to find a windscreen so I'll ask.

TS I think finding your Austin will hardly be a challenge but gouging a windsceeen out of one might be.... :P

and Andy.... are you catching up with Pat???? a very silent contributor these days, though he did say his computer had a terminal illness.

I will keep an eye out as it's the same as my truck I'm restoring (mine has 20 inch 8 stud wheels & 4litre petrol engine. I'm looking for 6 chassis cab mounts for this same truck. I only have the one windscreen & that's in my own Austin 4-60N. I am progressively stripping 2 wrecked ones at my friends farm, just checked my photos of the trucks to see if they had their windscreens but no luck. I buy all the parts for heavy scrap weight. Let us know if you need other things.
About the trucks being the same, some have a split windscreen. Your & my truck are rarer than they should be. Telecom used to use a lot of these trucks & so did the country fire brigades (but they used 3.38litre engines & 16inch wheels. Our trucks are Austin 3.38N or 4.60N, or 5.60N etc, also Morris WF trucks, Leyland 4.60N, or 5.60N etc & even Austin K60 or K100. Pity we can't find many. I have various parts manuals and if yours is also the 4litre engine, it's the same as the Sheerline motor. I am in Western Sydney NSW. Please send message if you want to stay in touch as we might find parts we each need. Good luck

Kind Regards
