Santa's Been Early

This old girl landed in my lap for nothing. Delivered on Friday and I must say it is great to finally get something that isnt missing anything.
Even the keys for ignition, door and glove box are there.

Nice find
Q: Wot model?

cya

Swishy,
1954, Model 323. Two speed diff.
Original Nash engine is shot...got a 3-53T screamer sitting in the shed for it.

Lovely bit of gear, Baz.

that is one piece of good looking gear ..great dashboard design.. doesnt seem to have much rust ?

Bit of rust in the bottom back corners of the cab and a bit near one back window and thats it.
Bonnet, front guards and doors have no dents or rust what so ever. Just need a media blast and paint.
Front bumper is the bit that got me. Not a ding, scratch or anything. Could put it straight in for chrome.
The dash is also unusual..no extra holes have been drilled in it.
Id say it was really well looked after in its day.
You have to be lucky sometimes !

..put it this way if i was half as lucky as you .. how did you score the old girl?

Andy refers to me as AB...assy B###
Im lucky or unlucky which ever way you would like to look at it. Im the Pres of the HCVC WA and I seem to get alot of calls from people looking for homes for trucks from farm cleanups etc. 98% are beyond saving but this one for some reason sounded okay so I went bush and had a look. The guy said If I didnt take it it was getting the chop.
Glad I did make the effort to go look now !
Unfortunatly there is some good gear getting scrapped over here at the moment but I cant save it all.
I heard of two Scammell contractors being lined up for the chop as no one wants them.

if only i lived in WA ! at the moment i will admit im "snowed under" with project trucks ..a 1970 dodge AT4 760/ Mercedes 1424 1985/ & if i ever get around to it a 1978 dodge D3F 600 ex peters ice cream truck... but if i had room for any more . . . lol

I know the feeling. Im going to be a 136 years old by the time I get mine all done but im having fun and doing me bit for transport heritage.
