Danny152 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) I am trying to get some information on a Morris - Crane converted lorry from WW2. I am not in a position to get the information so any help anyone can add would be good. It is a earlier Morris C8. It was converted from a gun wagon to have a small crane known as a Hydrophone crane I believe. Someone informed me that these we converted to be used on D-Day 1944 on the Mulberry Harbour and UK ports? Is there any pictures around? The Chassis number I have been informed is T322, if this means anything? Thanks for your help. Cheers, Danny Edited March 14, 2013 by Danny152 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David B. Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Danny, Beware the assumption that this is a wartime conversion. I seem to recollect that the C8 chassis was the basis for a crane conversion that was marketed postwar. Regards, david. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
