Any one ever seen this one before round Melbourne?
Small world. My car is in front of that truck. I can just see the corner of it. I remember seeing this van too on Thursday arvo on the way back from the airport.

Do they stand them up on end or something in there? It's tall.

Would make a great camping vehicle. Plenty of legroom. Just never look at it, except from a distance, like a few kms.

Looking at the front quarter panels, didn't realise BA/BF had that much curvature in the panel? I always thought they are normally square like an EB.

All about functionality, with no regard for looks. Would make a good ambulance or motorhome. And a quick one at that with a good motor/box from the BA/BF range.

Why does it need such headroom, it's not like the passengers will complain!

New from Ford, the Falcon Meatwagon, live it!

We have those picking up bodies at work almost daily (i work in a hospital nothing suss) I have often thought what a usefull rear space could be. They hold just as many bodies as a Hiace van does. Il just warn you it aint dignafied though.
