HWade Posted September 8, 2009 Author Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well heres a couple more pics as you can see the truck has come on, its now rewired, the engine has been fully serviced,I have fitted the windscreen since the pic has been taken,I have managed to get hold of a Cargo body off a good friend of mine so I shall run her as a cargo untill the shop van body is finished. I am in need of a battery box and also the brackets that hold the fuel tank to the chassis.So if anyone can help with this please let me know. More pics of shop van body as and when it gets done.

I even managed to get them in paint.I am still looking for those Fuel tank brackets,I rang Rex ward again but nothing there. Well thats it for now. Howard.

Joris Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Try D van Dam, I know they have a number of workshop rotting in their yard in Herkenbosch, there might be some usable tank brackets. http://www.dvandam.nl/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HWade Posted September 10, 2009 Author Share Posted September 10, 2009 Hi Joris The shop vans dont have brackets, I need brakets off a cargo truck as I am fitting a cargo body, untill I get the shop van finished. Thanks Howard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Got up the work shop early this morning and got a coat of olive drab on the chassis. Howard I have been watching your progress on and off you are going well, what colour paint are you using ? I about to tear my 352 open cab to bits and rebuild it, once that is done I want to then spray the whole truck but I have got sucked in to the "which colour olive drab is it" question and I have some colours that I like but they only have U.S. paint codes !!!!!!!!!!! I have also seen your wing piping and looks good, nice finishing bit ( should it be there on the wings ? not that it matters it still looks great ) did you know there should also be some between the main windscreen support panel and the panel which houses the air vent flap I have this on my cab but none on the wings !

HWade Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi thanks for that I did know, but I forgot to fit it.The olive drab I am using is one a freind of mine had made up.I just sent in the batch and paint number and ordered some more.Its not matt its a shene.I think its a nice colour not to muddy,and not to green.Regards the piping I was led to beleave that there should be piping on the wings.But its up to you.I had it made up. Thanks Howard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HWade Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Hello Thanks for your comments, going back to the seal between the cab and scuttle, I have fitted this today and also fitted the roof canvas, its looking good. I recon I am going to have to use a jerry can as a temp fuel tank on the running board untill I can get the fuel tank brackets. I am hoping to go down the road and collect the cargo body and fit it straight to the truck.I will keep you informed. Thanks Howard heres a couple more pics.
