BLOK, Commercial models did not come with blinkers, they were an optional extra, FE utes had no blinker lights on the front as well, but FC did as they had a dual function & operate as parking lights

With FE some owners fitted up the correct GMH package while others fitted up aftermarket blinkers, these were usually operated via a column mounted lever or in some cases a switch on the dash

I have an FC panelvan that has no blinkers that was registered up until the 70's, not sure about the requirements now in the different states or where you are but if you want originality, leave it as is. It's seldom you see them still un fitted.

thanks zulu I just went out in the dark and the front are operating as parker lights and go out when the headlights come on ,my Ute is rough and sitting in a paddock for years didn't do it any good I have only just picked it up from out at mungindi and the geckos are still crawling around in it ,i was very surprised when i threw a coil and battery in it and ran fuel straight to the carby that it started on the second try and most of the lights worked its got a 161 in it

No Ken, its the Irish one. To be sure, to be sure. (sorry Paul ;D)

For all that it looks pretty good Blok, good luck with it.

Agreed: shame about the sills and floor, because the patina on the rest of it is magnificent.

Good luck with it.
