    Flat Bed Trailer ID

    The box on the neck of the trailer looks original? Does it use 11x20 tires and wheels? The guy who owns it is very hard to negotiate with, he will come down but only over time and time is what I don't have, I want to move my 813 home over Christmas so time will be short on this project. He...

    Mine hasn't run in 20 years everything is there including a broken off spark plug. Do a search on some English/British military forums, that's where I found most of the info on my truck. There is a bed for sale on one of the Idaho Craig's list. James
