Here is a pic of my 1929 Truck.  As far as I can work out, it is a LQ 1 and a half ton model.  First year for the six cylinder engine (194 cubic inches) and four speed gear box.
I've only had it about 5 weeks, and this photo was taken by previous owner in the nineties.  I have taken the cab off to 'square up' the windscreen.  Should have it back together in a fortnight or so ready for a drive.
Plan to use it in next Anzac Day parade to carry a few old diggers around, and will use it to tow a portable steam engine on the odd occasion.
I got the truck from Inverell off a bloke who wanted to see it go to a good home.  His brother works with me.
I trailered the truck home behind my 2 week old SS Crewman Ute with the full wanker pack.  Gotta laugh when you're driving a brand new $50K plus car and everyone wants to know about the 75 year old truck on the back Cheesy
Jason-  my Grandfather sold a truck like yours (possibly a bit bigger, maybe 3 ton) last year for $300.  The buyer drove it home!  I wasn't a happy camper!  We used to use it for carting hay around on the farm.

Shayne.
VERY cool! Looking forward to the "Finished" shots.
Finally got my Sloper home today. Bugger of a job cleaning my garage out so it would fit. DAMN tight squeeze, I tell you. I was sweating buckets putting it in there for the first time. My wife freaked out, she was sure I was going to clip a fender. Noot what you would call a "Calming experience". But, I have it sussed now, just gotta swing in from the top side, so the slight slope doesn't tilt the car to much & POP, we fit!

Not too soon, have to get it to Cairns first, and then repair it and then decide whether of not to re engine it so it could make the trip... Start with getting it on the road first.
