Default old fords out west

We went away for 3 weeks in our A and camper out west in Queensland and saw a few old trucks,and what I think is a 36 sedan way out west on the roadside,it was there when we were there 10yrs ago.
Just a side note,the A did a good job towing the teardrop camper for 3500klms.

Yeah, that 36 would be an easy restoration. Just wipe out the dings with a little Bondo. LOL

Putting in perspective for all Statside 'Barner's. You can back it in that them Fords are protected by big assed snakes & fist sized spiders.

Very cool. I wish I could have seen more of the back country when I was traveling over there in 88. Great photos.
