These inter s are australian made. Only 500 were made. Apharently the truckies didn't like them. International ended up making long nose versions.

Re: My FB Sydney county council ute
Hi browno. sorry I didn't get back to you. The truck is still there. Its rough but there is another rough cab also. If you are good at body work I recon you could make one out of the two.
I have a chev c 30 rolling chassis to go with it.
I've been thinking of keeping it on the original chassis with the spider wheels and just chanelling the body.
If I did it I was also going to run a big block chev and leave the natural patina as a rat.
I will sell it if you are interested. $ 2500 the lot. I'm not going to live long enough to get all this stuff done.

Re: My FB Sydney county council ute
Well i had a couple of hours to kill today so i finished my upper tailgate and almost finished the bonnet.
Ive done three cars now that have been blasted. All three cars had damage done to them by the blasters. For the small amount of time you save not stripping it by hand you are going to make it up by having to repair the warping they leave behind. Strip the large areas by hand and let the do the door jambs etc.
The pressure pushing the panel down onto the panels reinforcing just make a mess.
After peters car is gone i might get my toy done finally.

I thought by now you'd be sick of fixing rust on FB's and EK's
