Hey

been a long time ...

My Humber 1ton Gs is coming along slowly ... still needs a diff cover for the front axle ..

My next question is ...has anyone got a decent photo or image of the rear tail gate...reason being the two outer panels have been plated over on mine and i tend to think they should'nt be ...

any assistance with this will be much appreciated

Funnily enough they look like the rusted pair minus the hinges etc that i have got.. mine came with my Humber 1 ton gs , they fit under the rear deck behind the back wheels..

Hi

Just an update and a plea....whilst trying to remove 10yrs worth of festering debris from the front crossmember as i neared the diff casing i proceeded carefully and discovered a hand size hole in the casing:(.. Crossmember removed whats left of the casing removed all the remaining debris removed.. the pinion gears are as smooth as a baby's back side..Now the plea has anyone got or know of anyone who's possibly got one lying around..

So the work begins.... it was parked in gear without the handbrake on .. on first investigation the brakes and drums seem ok..fuel system was bunged up...but now sorted...there seems to be half a ton of training area lodged every where ( fellow i bought it of claims its Bovington ).. body work needs quite a bit of attention...

Hi can anyone identify this unit

Hi there been a while..i have now just purchased 16 bk 39 fv1601 Humber gs, Took us seven hours to get it running after being stood for TEN years... got it moving ..brakes not ceased thankfully. So now have a mighty restoration job on ready for next year. Does any body know what timber the deck boards and cab floor were made from, the cab floors ok ish but the rear deck is no longer. If any one has any info about the vehicle could you please let me know...ps the deck canvas is perfect, it was still wrapped after having a new top and side panel fitted to the original front and rear panels ...

Cheers Fasttrax

Hi

no pros mate just let me know vehicle reg etc

cheers steve

Possibly, I have some pics of civ registered Humbers that I can tie up to a military ERM. Can you not read the chassis plate, which is found by pushing your head between the front wheel arch & the wheel on the nearside?

 

It is appx 6" x 3" on the chassis facing you as you peer in. You will need a torch & a cloth to clean the plate it should be stamped with a 5-digit serial number top left eg 21834 & beneath the ERM eg 18 BK 34 or just 18 34. Either set of numbers will do as you can see they have a close relationship.

 

That is assuming you can get into the hedge:-D

HI full mil reg is 16 BK 39, didnt take any notice of the civvi plate as this was underneath it!!!!

fasttrax

Depends on the chassis & the bodywork is very relevant with a GS. Depends if the engine can turn over. If the engine is good & can even run then the base value has to be £500 minimum. Good bodywork & tyres increase the value of course.

 

I am soon to be selling a Humber Malkara test truck with good engine & pretty reasonable bodywork, together with hacked around body one which was used by a garage. The engine seems ok & the cab internally complete. The two together £1,750.

 

Hope that is of some help.

HI Clive

can u trace the Reg

it's still fitted to the vehicle with the civvi plate over the top

cheers fasttrax

Hi all

Hi all

The gearbox and transferbox is out ( wot a job) and on first inspection the transfer box had little or no oil in it,and wot bit it had in was swarfy, The recon box was located in the middle of a field in Cheshire, 1 of 2 still crated with all the service records, sitting along side a rather sad looking Saracen mk6 command vehicle.

Tell you more soon

Fasttrax

Ps where are the 2 in the picture located? and would a tranferbox out of a stolly fit?

Hi all

Having slight problem with g/box, sourced recon box, but how readily available are the transfer boxes!!
