'Atki Pete' Lynch has sent me this shot of an old Ford downunder and says: "G'day Brian, Seeing as how Biglorryblog has been talking about D Series, here's one I spotted yeaterday. It has a V8 Cat and a Roadranger box. Still not sure about operating at 44-tonnes, unless it was downhill?
Pete goes on to say: "I used to drive one of these with the Ford engine and it was flat out with only 8-tons on the back!"

That's a great looking rig, Pete. It looks as though the cab has been highered too in order to accommodate the CAT.

I think we had the Cat 3208 offered ex factory in the later Ford Cargo. They do sound great when working hard.

Yeah, The Ford of Australia literature lists the CAT 3208 ex - factory in Cargos. We never had that option here, they were just (!) powered by Ford, Perkins, Cummins, or even Deutz engines.
