| The Back of Beyond "Open Air" F60L Cab 12 replica |
|
|
|
| The Back of Beyond, a 1954 Australian classic film featured two trucks; the 1936 Leyland Badger and a 1941 Ford F60L Cab 12. The original truck is buried somewhere on Pandie Pandie Station, so Alan Wright decided he wanted a replica. |
|
|
|
 |
 |
|
|
| Rebuilt by Don Warner, a long-time restorer of military vehicles, this is very close to the original Cab 12, noted in the Back of Beyond script as the "Open Air". |

|
| Engine runs very sweetly. |

|
| Alan is a tall man and asked Don to extend the steering wheel for a bit more room. |
