  1. No as it has all the original shipping date 20th april 1945 , it was shipped from N Y to Antwerp {code name Hail }it retains it`s original ORD number and anti freeze fitted date and details of inspection , The details where under coats of newer paint ,the ORD number on the side was under the allied star
  2. just out of interest my GMC has the original shipping details on it still and it reads P.S.J (this is the shipping company ) N.Y. (New york) P.E ( port of embarkation ) . the men for stencils are http://www.axholmesigns.co.uk cheers j

  8. or leave it standard and it will last another 60 + years ......
  9. with regard to the valves , everybody goes for big valves on tuned engines, you can massively increase the efficiency by cutting the valve seat back ,if you leave a narrow seat and machine the edge off , you are increasing the valve size buy the amount that is removed , flow the porting and your gaining power for free i`m pure yorkshire so love things for free jonny loot
  10. been trolling through old files on the laptop and found this from 2010 , this is the bmvt winter rally one of the yorkshire mvt weekends away every year , a mix of convoy and social get together, made better for a little snow .....if you saw our normandy video you`ll know how we roll up north ............enjoy keeping them rolling on and off road jonny loot
  11. thanks for the interest Towbarlover , it still has the hood number on and i know quite a lot of the history , been on the same base from it`s delivery date july 1943, there are two trucks in the states of the same make and type with very close numbers i plan to leave it in the original paint for the time been ,it would be a shame to paint such an original vehicle
  12. looks like artillery to me as it has the wheel lugs to strap the wheels down , i`ve seen jeep wheels of guns with the same lugs
  13. yes been touch with this guy it was him and his site that i got i load of info off , very helpfull , i`m still learning a lot as i`ve never been into fire trucks before .......everything`s new
  14. bit of work to do before she`s a pumper ...hope to be out and about with it next year ,
  15. she can always ring me .....stupid offers may be excepted
  16. thought you guys may want a look at the new toy , fresh in from the US after spending it`s working life on whiteman air base from new ,after retirement it was sold to leeton fire department and after a couple of owners came to me chevrolet 1.5 ton 1943 buffalo fire truck 6000 miles on the clock this is a class 500 and pumps 500 gallons a minute so shifts some water (that is when i recon the pump ) i`m leaving it as it is with regard to the paint , brakes are now done , electrics all working now and she runs sweet , not hitting the road till next year ,
  17. once you have checked your getting a live to the coil , and are happy your getting a spark i`d check there is no water in the carb , then check the braided fuel lines that are near the filter, they rot inside , this makes the engine hunt for fuel ,this can give a very weak mixture, when the engine runs lean it can make the engine backfire like an ignition fault ,you can also get backfires when there`s water in the fuel , the fuel pipes look ok on the outside and perish on the inside , just a thought !
  18. if you need jeep tyres in the next few months you need to get moving . due to the supply chain problem they`ll be in short supply in the next few months , i`m at newark and malvern militaria , if you order now i`ll save some ...don`t want you hmvf guy to miss out jonny loot 07968381304
