A few AWM pics of cinema jeeps. A search of the AWM collections will reveal many pics of mobile cinema jeeps. The mobile cinema units were attached to the Aust. army amenities service. The cinema jeeps seem to have a few mods i.e. a gene set mounted behind the seats https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C67282 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C19523 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C281907 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C63312 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C67804 https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C67280

Hi This film may be of interest. Seems that not all jeep cinema units had trailers https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C190188 And another cinema jeep https://www.awm.gov.au/collection/C190670

Looking excellent. Can you buy imperial size metal stock in the UK ? Or has the steel market been changed to the EU metric standard. It is all metric here, since + 40 years , an absolute pain when working on older projects like WW2 vehicles. Unfortunately German vehicles are not too common here !!!!!!!

Hi Richard Sorry to be a pest . How did you machine the recessed valve section in the piston ? I have saved the 3D drawing for future reference !

Nice work ! Did you have a original pump on loan to copy ?

This was for sale in Australia for around 5K UK Pounds a few years ago. It was imported from the UK in 1976 by a MV enthusiast. I had the pleasure of driving it a few times.

Excellent work. Is the lid for the filter a casting ? If so what is the material ?

Very nice work ! I need this type of information for my CS8 water tank project but I don't know where or how the Morris differs to the Bedford when it comes to the details .

Hi Mike Cecil wrote a short article on the 1200 odd Australian issued US6 trucks. Have you seen the article ? The army reserve here used US6 til 1971 at least

Hi Have you seen this movie ? Interesting scenes with a MWC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN2XU2vsiws

Found a soldiers name and service number scratched into the instrument panel of my 1940 Canadian C8 Chev. JS Hunter VX65738...... did some searching and found the chap was still alive , this was around 1993, and living up near Ballarat. He was a tank gunner in the 2/4 armoured regiment and was wounded in action on Bougainville while in a Matilda tank. Anyway I wrote him a letter, he replied saying he doesn't recall the truck or his act of vandalism !

hi Paul I had a T112 for many years , a 46 model, my daily driver car . They normally had a Australian built TJ Richards built body . The earlier military ones , 1942, used by the Australian army had a separate cab like yours but mine had an integral cab rear body like most aussie utes. Yours appears to have a Adelaide built TJ Richards built cab because it has the quarter vent windows in the doors. Is it RHD ? cant tell from the pic. Is it a import from Nth America ?

The present Japanese owner posts on the Facebook Morris six cylinder CS8 PU page . The vehicle currently has leaky brake wheel cylinders, he is trying to repair things but I think he has limited mechanical knowledge . I steered him to Champ Spares ? who I think had some brake bits . Mike

Ron Being a early production Morris , maybe your PU/8 would have been fitted with the rubbolite tailights .

Back in the 1980's, Colin Anderson the well known military vehicle restorer , installed a GMC 270 into his QL Bedford. He drove it to Corowa one year and later on he sold it to somebody in Sydney. It was used in a TV series as a Jap truck in Malaya !

Richard Many thanks for those pics and the dimensions of the rails ! I have a pair of old original MW side curtains that I don't need , these are the small curtains that fit at the rear corners of the cab behind the doors. This pics may be of interest: post war service in Denmark
