    Hi From The UK

    I'm afraid I've no ideas on traders who do flags, however there should be loads at War In Peace. Are you planning on going ? A thought occurs, have you looked on E-Bay ? Kind regards Vulture

    Best of luck with the restoration, you look to have quite a challenge ahead of you. Please post some more photos when you have a chance :)

    Hi John Did you make it to Newark ? I was there myself, but only had time for a quick 30min dash. Did you see the sign selling a GMC 353 ? I know the seller a bit, it would be a good purchase probably. Kind regards Vulture

    Hi From The UK

    Opps, sorry Ron, I should have included links. The Historic Military Vehicle Forum (HMVF) is the main military forum in the UK, although it does have members from all over the world. MILWEB is the main sales site for vehicles in the UK. Both are well worth checking out :) Kind regards Vulture

    Johnh Is this the truck your talking about ? Link Airborne tippers are v rare so it would certainly be worth checking out. Not a bad price. If you are serious, send me a PM, and we can chat on the phone :) Kind regards Vulture

    Hi From The UK

    Ron There are a couple of largish road-runs, but the biggest Annual Event is the War In Peace Show which has 2,000+ vehicles. I've been a few time as a foot visitor. This year I'm thinking of taking the truck along, but the cost of fuel in the UK is so high at the moment (about $10 a gallon)...

    Hi From The UK

    There is no doubt that having a truck this age, means that every outing is a bit of adventure: a) will it start ? b) what will go wrong when I'm out in it? c) will I make it home, or will I end up being recovered ? LOL :) For those interested, here are a few postings of some of the things...
