Are you having email problems Greg? I have been trying to reach you.

I have mate. For a bit over a week now but hopefully functional on Monday.
Try waspworks at bigpond dot com in the meantime.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Greg.

For those interested, I did get new Michelin XZL tyres, I'm still waiting on a tube to mount the spare. I have been driving it around a bit which is a hoot but I'm glad I ordered the 4.89 gear sets.

The picture with all the gum trees reminds me of when we lived by the leave in Cobram. It's a beautiful spot that I want to return to. Jim

[aussiecowboy]

Cobram is a very nice spot, it's the next big town upriver from me, you're sure on the other side of the earth now! If I had been standing on the other side of the truck with the camera you'd see the river in the background.

[Jerry Henry]

I couldn't help going to Google Earth to see the river. That's one long river. Do you know how long it is? It looks like it flows into Lake Alexander?

[aussiecowboy]

She's exactly 1562 miles long, a very beautiful river. It eventually flows into the sea, via Lake Alexandrina.

I see this thread is a few years old now so was wondering how both the trucks mentioned are going ? Im in perth also so was wondering has greg got his on the road yet ? im looking at buying one so its good to see a few in Oz.

[aussiecowboy]

My truck is still going strong after almost burning to the ground, DO NOT trust a Chinese Lucas regulator knock off. I still haven't done the ring and pinion change out so not using it as much as I'd like, just too slow on the road.

I haven't spoken to Greg for a long time but as far as I'm aware his truck is still unfinished, he has been travelling quite extensively.

[Dodgekcl1935]

Thanks for the reply. good to hear you still have it in one piece. have had the same thing happen but with an original lucas reg, lucky I had side cutters in the back lol. what sort of speed will your truck do ? ive heard 60kms is about where they like to cruise ?

[aussiecowboy]

Yeah, 60 would be top end for cruising.

[Dodgekcl1935]

Do you know what the weight of your truck is ?

[aussiecowboy]

Not a clue

Hi, I just came across this thread and am wondering if any of you guys with ex R.A.A.F Power Wagons found chassis numbers? I recently purchased an ex RAAF Early Response PW & cannot find a number anywhere...in fact it has no ID tags on it at all.

Regards Bruce

[aussiecowboy]

Would have had a Chrysler tag in the firewall originally. I think I did find a chassis number for Rego but it was a few years ago now, will have to look on the weekend.
