WANTED TO BUY!!!! I have the mounting plate and the threaded section, but the bottom section and the wheel is missing. I'm only after the wheel section for the Jockey Wheel, but happy to buy the entire setup.

Can anyone tell me if the stamp I found on the towing hitch on the drawbar is a Globe serial number or a part number. I thought it unusual to have "GLOBE" on the hitch. The pics look clear that the number is 603 but inspecting it close up it's difficult to know if it is 603 or 605 as the last number looks like it was stamped on an angle.

Where are all the "GLOBE" and "WAYFARER" owners who can answer this for me?

Just had a check in the technical section. Globe did make hitches. As for that jockey wheel base, I hang my head in sorrow. Had a clearance of all things I didn't want and after carting it around for five years, I threw out the base section you seek. Sooo sorry๐๐

Hi Redmr2red, As you are aware your Wayfarer was built by Globe in South Australia and then sold in Victoria badged as a Wayfarer, hence the Globe coupling. I think the '603' must refer to either a patent number, part number, or something similar for Globe's coupling. As you'll see from the first post on the DHL Globe thread here, one of the earliest Globe's shown on the forum also had '603' on the coupling. Back in the day we took it to be the chassis number, but with more information now available we know it isn't that. Globe vans - and some of the vans built for Wayfarer - also used to include a plaque with the patent number on it (also shown in the above post), which some people have initially thought was a serial number. So Globe obviously liked to promote their brand via the numbers. Does your van have one of the patent number plaques? Don Ricardo

Thanks Don, but I'm not thanking Roehm3108 (only joking) where did you throw it? ..... it might still be there!!! I have bought a steel cast jockey wheel from Bunnings that looks similar and will do the job nicely.
Yes I figured that the hitch casting was more of a part number than a serial number.

Who would have though that Globe (Wayfarer) would not only have their own Towball coupling cast, but also their own Hubs.

How about their own windows?! I'll get some better photos tomorrow as the windows are out.

Attended the Nyora, VIC Swap Meet today (Father's Day) and found not one BUT TWO diecast Wayfarer scripts for the van. $10.00 for both (although one was broken). I couldn't get my money out quick enough. Like the one pictured below.

I have two of those in VGC from a 59 Wayfarer. Dave Hi Dave, do you know where they are fixed on the Van? In the meantime ...... The front of the Wayfarer is taking shape.

G'day Red. Mine was a genuine 59 Wayfarer, not a rebadged Globey. The scroll Wayfarer (same as yours) was under the front and rear windows. I can think of three vans that had the identical Wayfarer in scroll badges on them. I will PM Don Recardo and ask the gentleman if he wouldn't mind posting a couple of photos for me Dave

Hi Dave, as in my thread pictures above I've put a Wayfarer sticker (not genuine, something I've put together) on the front and I had planned to fit the diecast "Wayfarer" script to the back. Thanks for letting me know where they were located. It also explains, (if there were two on each van) why I was able to buy 2 scripts from the swap meet.
Cheers, Red
P.S. PM sent.

Hello Redmr2red,Great rsto of that old Wayfarer. I'm about to pick up a wood sided, aluminium front& rear Wayfarer with the metal knight badge front and rear. Rear single wide window is missing and aluminium sheeted over. Ply below window is rotten and wood will need replacing. Q's ... 1. Any ideas on replacing a whole long winow without the original? 2. What thickness/type of ply? you recommend and from where? Cheers Jeffhead59
