1940's masonite

[Deleted]

Last October whilst in Nungarin, on the inaugral run in the FX and lil bondy, I received a lead on a 1940's masonite caravan stored in a farm shed at Miling WA, about 3 hours out of Perth in the wheatbelt.

Went there today for a looksee , but ......nah ......not for me, needs total resheeting :
























was hard to get good pics of it due to heaps of junk 'round it .....good junk mind you ....lottsa good stuff in there



Got excited about this Chev truck :










and not so excited 'bout the Vals ;D ;D (sorry olfarts ;D)











especially since the REAL GOOD STUFF was left to rot in the paddock







and thought this old shop freezer cabinet would make a good frozen beer fridge in the Beverley shed :

Love your way of thinking Kaybee, the more original the better The old Holden outside needs a little more of a heavy cutback though ;D

kaybee .....gotta agree with you re the Chev towing rig .....I haven't seen a curved front end Chev truck like that before ...is that rare, or 'ave I bin asleep for years
......luv it .....wonder if he'd trade an Isuzu vintage caravan retrieval truck ;D


tucky ......if it is, you're second in the queue mate ;D ;D


yellowuki ....you're right ....the Heavy Duty does need a heavy duty cut back ;D

olfarts .....thought you'd like the vals .......have a mate who has a V8 val ute .. same model as that in mickey mouse condition ......

I dunno what's for sale and whats not ....I know the caravan was up for grabs .....the cocky missed his appointment .....couldn't find him anywhere ......I had to go in the open farm shed in case he was in there ... under a vehicle or something ......whilst in there I took the happy snaps

Will phone him tomorrow to see whats the go

just spoke to the farmers wife ......she wants the shed cleaned out

Apparently the Chev truck is one family owner, and is a grain tipper .....one of the first tipper trucks in the Miling area

I expressed interest in quite a few items (including the Val ute .. olfarts, and the radio .. minicamper), she's going to discuss with 'the boys' and get back to me

At least there's half a chance when mum wants a clean out ;D

PS: the caravan would more than likely be a freebie if any WA member wants it ......
