Did you get a pic of the ID plate for me Tim? Looks like Pink and Plum. I don't have that code.

even in this state the mighty FB looks better than their plain old single tone paint sisters
At the museum there was also this trick FJ ute (now garden feature) with XK Falcon front bumper, twin headlights, Commer grill (the headlight peaks were all steel)
The best part was the dash - I think it's Caddy someone loved it once
That looks like a 57 Chevy pickup dash
When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

The headlights look like 58 Chevy, but i am not sure about the Commer grill
Would have been a head turner in its day

There is no mention of if the rear of this one is customised as well?
Its a shame to see an old custom like this left to rot.
Re: FB-EK Club Run this Sunday

Tim, I'd say it would have had a valve death ray, mine was the transistorised unit. Not many people know thisSunnyTim wrote:Rob, It was a great piece of Australiana - you could even tell that it had a "Death Ray" onceSunny Rob wrote:I want it baaaad.
but the valve units had a separate and quite large power unit. Most likely why a ute was used.
