Looking a lot like a F15A on it's 16" wheels, this is in fact a genuine
Gun Tractor, with an unusual body chop to be made into a yard crane. Colin,
it's owner commented the chains are a necessity on his hilly property.
The distinctive modification to the cab is very similar to a FGT I photographed
in Bill Drew's yard in the 1970s, so this was possibly one he did back in
the late 60s. |
The winch is intact as are most of the rear fairleads, but it is missing
the rearmost roller. The chassis has been bent just aft of the rear spring
mounts. The truck has been converted to 12 volt power and runs very quietly. |
For comparison, here's a FGT converted by Bill Drew in the late 1960s.
This shot was taken around 1973. I wonder whether this could be the same
truck? |
