My Aussie International K5 was one of many assembled out here, for which timber-framed 'roadster' cabs were built. They had half doors, and a canvas roof cover.

Welcome, Christos. Looks like you have just the vehicle for a drive through Brightmoor! Cheers, Matt

G'day mate! The more Aussies here, the better! I'm in Junee, not far from Wagga in NSW. Cheers, Matt

Thanks for the welcome, folks. I've been following the news from Corowa over the last few years, and it'll be good to go there eventually. So, 2017 is my year then? Sounds about right, timewise! I note that next year is the year of the emergency vehicle and the year of General Motors. If I can get the truck ready, I'll claim a connection, as the truck went through Fisherman's Bend, going by this plate, which was attached to the frame. I removed it, cleaned it up and have primed it for future use. So, if it gets me across the line next year, then that's two claims to fame for the old K-5! Cheers, Matt

G'day folks, As a fairly recent entrant to the world of historic military vehicle ownership, I'm glad to meet the like-minded folk here. I've recently acquired this International K5, and have started bringing it back to a basically-military condition. First thing was a good wash, which showed the original paint to be relatively good, given its age. The fun continues! Makes a change from my collecting focus of the last few years, Lee-Enfield rifles. Cheers, Matt
