  15. welcome Jeff if you lost everything it sounds like you lost power from the alternator battery side before it gets to the switch so maybe you dont have to dive in as much as you think The live wire or hot wire would come from the battery to the key switch first at least thats were most of the circuits would it's a bit hard to tell with out a wiring diagram but it dosnt sound real bad to me as in most of it sounds un burnt You need to find a wiring diagram some one on here Im sure will put one up fairly soon we should be able to locate which wire is crook with out pulling to much apart once you get a diagram Paul
  16. Yeah Tim when they turn up you'll be able to give them a Fosters I dont know anyone that ever drank that except Hoge's LOL Fellas it's a bit like trying to explain the colour of something over the phone some times you just gotta come and have look your self if you catch my drift Paul

  21. Well, the Brisbane Ford truck plant was also Ford's farm machinery plant where they made all sorts of stuff, even Australia's only Ford tractor the 8401 I wonder did Ford have the bonnets made at the same place as Mack did or still does in Brisbane ????? Now Im pretty sure I still have road tests that were done with the new Ford Aero Max they drove them from Melbourne to Perth and back again it might have been Sydney to Perth and they had all the figures if anyone wants I can dig them out whack them up might take a few days to track them down I havent read them for years, Im a Mack man but the figures were pretty good from what I can recall and Ford Australia were quite proud of them Paul
