LOL Dave, I actually bought that to use to assemble the shed (I was going to put it up myself - but realised I was beter off to pay someone and have it done in 2 - 3 weeks instead of 6 months it woul take me)
So I took on a part time second job and that has paid for the shed build (I hate loans apart from house).

The truck is X - Ansett and was used at Alice Springs airport from 1972 till approx 1990.
It has (from memory) 6200 miles on the speedo.
Will most likely donate it to one of 2 museums out here (Conellan air or Road Transport Hall of Fame)

It drives (brakes dodgy and tyres need replacing) and all hydraulics for stairs and legs work.
