Re: BOSS STREAMLINER S/UF 925
The water is up to the second tree line... about six foot deep...
The picture was taken at what you would call the official entrance on the eastern shore at what would be about the 2 mile mark .. the lake is suited to run south to north "up hill " three quarters of an inch every mile
Thats a pretty steep climb, CHEV owners might not have enough stick to use top gear 
running on the lake would be from the left hand side of the picture up to the middle of the horizon, a solid 12 miles , maybe squeeze out 15 or 16..

Chriss.. The cats name is "BUBBLES" not real sure of the breed . " Mongrel " I guess..
He seems to be well enough natured, doesn't seem to like tinned cat food though, but does seem to have quite an interest in the tin itself..
Maybe he's using them to store the rats and the snakes he prefers to snack on..
Chriss ...Should your better half allow you to store such "CLASSIC PILE OF TRUCK " I'd suggest a name change for the CAT, he seems
somewhat sensitve about his current "Tag " , and don't be to hasty about moving his truck to often, or his tempermant changes to that sonmewhat of the stinkin trucks....

The body/chassis numbers should help you out on years for those trucks Ross. If you're not sure post them on here.

That'd be somethin' ,we could go pretty quick if we had that kind of distance to stretch our legs.ROSS BROWN wrote: running on the lake would be from the left hand side of the picture up to the middle of the horizon, a solid 12 miles , maybe squeeze out 15 or 16..
Cats........I don't hate 'em ...but I definitely couldn't eat a whole one.
...few understand what I'm trying to do , but they vastly outnumber those who understand why..
Re: BOSS STREAMLINER S/UF 925
12 Gauge would make an orful mess of the grille.
Is that the one we looked at Ross?

Two body numbers on the fire wall 19485 ... &..... 21T143... am yet to find any on the chassis...
Dont have any numbers of the other truck yet , as I still havent dragged it of the farm were it resides..
Goggles...
Yes the place ( lake Buchanan ) is absolutley ideal , and only 60kms of dirt road.
Had a pretty good question and answer session with the station owner. It was last dry in september 2010
Chriss...
Nope.. This is the other treasure.. Thats you performing mouth to mouth on it ..
and it trying to bite your head off....
The biggest differnce between . one is an army model ,with push in windows with 3 rib doors and body..
the other has full frame doors with windows and a 2 rib body..
Have a nice evening
Cat Lovers..

Re: BOSS STREAMLINER S/UF 925
Far out I haven't seen one of those for yonks.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that one of the Department of Main Roads and Transport initiatives to capture and relocate Hot Rodders from urban areas. They just park an old shitheap somewhere, bait it with a flathead and then stand back and wait. That's a rare shot of a live specimen actually caught in the trap. They tag and release him and once they work out where his burrow is they'll turn up and round up all of the males and any females who aren't palying with dolls and relocate them to Castlemaine or Gympie, and , most importantly, they pack up all the rusty ol shit and dump it there too, when that happens they rarely return......

G'day Ross,
21T is a 1942 1 1/2 ton flat bed, originally a 90HP flathead V8 equipped truck. Wheelbase (if std) should be 134".
The 134 after the 21T is the body serial number. There should also be a number on the chassis, in cars it's right by the steering box mount on the top rail, not 100% sure on trucks but Henry was a habitual soul so that's where I'd start. It will likely have a star at the start and finish of the number.
Is there a context for the second number or is it just stamped into the firewall?
Incidentally, I know a bloke up your way who would likely be interested in the rear end assuming you're swapping it. He's restoring a Bren gun carrier and many of the castings are the same. I can not remember the specifics of what he's after but can put you in touch.
Cheers,
Rob

Re: BOSS STREAMLINER S/UF 925
So that figures,
Ross is working undercover for the department, he handed me a 6 volt battery said "here just get it started un I'll run the trailer round"
I stopped count at about thirty flatheads at that place. Lots and lots of unfinished projects. Must be what happens when we don't get to live enough
