    The alloy rad panel is off an earlier model so parts must have been mixed and matched at some time.
    Also the steering wheel centre if it is bakelite and has the dipswich is earlier too. Normally on the 80" and 54 models. If its good be very carefull with it as they are worth big bucks. People break them trying to get them out from the top without removing the clamp from the bottom end of the steering box. The wheel centre is connected to a tube that goes right down the column and then clamped where the wires come out.

    Reading back you havnt given the chassis number so it might be a 1954 107" so in that case everything is as it should be.

    Looks like a 107 to me. My '55 has the dip switch on steering wheel too. I have another chassis and firewall for mine as it's also cactus.

    Nice save btw

    I haven't had a look yet for numbers, I would be surprised if they have survived the oxidisation process.

    Oh it also has external door locks that form part of the handle too

    They are different

    If you can't find the chassis number, look at the rear of the front spring and you can spot which chassis it is from there.

    .

    The photo shows the differences in a 88" ( top chassis ) and 86" ( bottom chassis ).

    The difference is the same for the 109" and the 107".

    another grey ute

    Good to see another ute being saved. I have been driving mine every day since I got it off Keith. I think my new 90 is getting jealous !!
    They are such a handy vehicle, fun to drive and cheap to run.

    Go Back!

    Why is there a need to recycle vehicles, when they can built to last like a Series One?
