    LOL Mango has found a thread where he is the only expert.

    Great Pics, i only knew the model t ford, those cars are way past my time.

    Pretty interesting hearing Mango talk about models with only 2 wheel brakes, its amazing how far things have progressed with time, back in those days they probably thought Wow its got brakes on 2 wheels.....

    Yawn, wake up , another day

    Hillview, I am using the "uploade image" link on the toolbar and then using direct link and putting image tags ( [img]h*tp://webaddressofpic.com[/img] ) on the ends.

    Maybe some WW2 trucks today ?



    This truck was a truck that my grandafther had a fair bit of the time in New Guinea. It appears in a few photos I have and I know its the same truck due the missing bit in the grill. He is the one that is roughly in the middle front with no hat.

    I could very well be wrong here but is that missing bit in the grill for the crank handle? If it is then all of them will have it

    Shit, good point and I think you are right. I was just reading his war diary 10 minutes ago and noticed reference to a starter going and complaining about having to be cranked. Ok, that means some other trucks are not that one so I will post them up too later.

    No idea on location here, presumably Australia ?

    Can you imagine the work these trucks would do ? I'll post up a section of his diary soon that over a week he describes the maintenence done on the 3 tonne chev he drove in the Middle East.

    And possibly last one for the day as I have to go out, a licence belonging to my great grandfather from WW2 years, presumably for fuel rations ? I am sure Mango will know something about it.

    I found this old photo the other year going through old family photos, not sure who's or what car it is, but i really like the picture. A couple of photos i hoped to find but didn't were of my pop's car that was converted during the war to run on coal, and some of his motorbikes.
