Really? Wow..Now THAT'S a (really tough) Truck. Well done.......(Almost..Kraz 255b like!)

As mentioned the door bottoms tend to rust out. I do "oil" mine regularly. And There is a tendency for the bulkhead section support to rust where the exhaust heat passes onto it. Sometimes both sides. (just under and towards the back underneath of the mudguards).

Wow..the above comment comes from..."too hot to trot" ? thinks...thinks...Ah! zz Top. No A.H. here thankfully. (and) as a thought have you checked the flame heater yet? I bet if that fires..your engine will too. usual 1/2 penne'th.

Would love to see some pictures of the progress on your truck. Good luck with it.

I seem to remember a "cranked spanner" makes things easier, I have one I made from a long wrench, heated it up and bent it to the required angle.

That's what we did with ours. Replaced one set with electrics because the previous owner used penetrating oil to lube them, And jigged them up completely.

I am not familiar with the system, but if air pressure operates (with hydraulic?) Then use a compressor and pump up the system through the glad hand, or a fitting (you can put) at the base of the air tank.

Hmm..Well all the "Little Folk" ordinary collectors have been pushed out of the English (so called used to be) collectors web site!. There is just so much stuff from professional auction sites cluttering every thing up in just about every category. Despite the site having a (supposed!) "Auction...

Welcome to the site and the hobby. Tie up the other German guys coming over to U.K. for the war and peace revival in convoy. July.

I wonder what deductions the purchaser received on that damage.

Nice truck, and a snip at the price. Now you have something to cheer you up and re-involved in. As mentioned post up pictures of the restoration. And that damage is no worse than I did some time back when I backed my trailer into the (now long sold) m54a2 5 ton. Easy fix.

Well if they are "spring(y)" They look like they Clip into or under something. If no holes for bolts, I would look at an exploded view of the engine. (sump?) Curios..keep us up to date. And see who solves this weeks >puzzle<

What did the P.M. SAY...(or what had the P.M. said)..a good scrub with jewelers rouge works well.

Very welcome..Back? how about some pictures and a write up for the UN-initiated..please..

That was an epic story, glad you got the mission accomplished.

If that is an early version (like mine) it has been extensively modified for some reason, not necessarily military/

It is a relatively easy and straight forward task. I removed the bed and replaced it with a Russian radio body to make a camper on a five ton in a day. I did have the M62 and two fork lifts available in the yard tough.

Absolutely. Go there pay for it then complete the storing and or driving you ALREADY made arrangements for beforehand
