Pulled back from the brink of extinction

Welcome! "Deep south", indeed. The grits must be gooder'n hell that far down.

I think you made the right choice buying all three, as long as it doesn't impact your marital bliss, living arrangements, etc. Restoring all three is pretty ambitious, but it is a huge advantage to have an extra vehicle to rob parts from, compare assemblies, and so on.

You mention that the ambulance and farm truck have a "5.1 petrol in-line 6". By 5.1, do you mean liters? I'm not aware of any inline sixes around that size, but there's a lot I don't know about southern hemisphere vehicles. Our Jeep/AMC six was a 258, which is 4.2 liters. What/whose engines are in your trucks?

You are right Mr. DarkMonohue - inline six engines are both AMC 4.2 litres.
Marital bliss will remain that way provided I keep to my promise of exploring the remote back country tracks and camping as we go. Long gone are the days of hiking on foot!!

Thank you MadMax78.
By the way, would your last name happen to be Gibson, and your first name Mel? Because if that is the case, I thought you would be all shook up over Ford GTO - Australian style, rather than Jeep trucks. Buthey, I think your choice is far better than the cars. So thank you sir for your wishing me good luck. I think I will need some of that too. Cheers!

LOL. No. Sorry. I do love the car though.
