What a beaut, FF Rob.

The "cutaway" in body-work, for the crew's bench-seat must have been done in Australia; as the USA crew would have ridden on the rear-step.. Love the ski-lift type Safety Bar for them.

Once again, a neat "Aus" combination of North American and European styles....have you got more pics of this truck ?

Regards, from Canada,
