Anything considered

Thanks Chris,

Ive made a chain gun for the sabre, how long should the barrel be?

Ral 1000 was the nearest i could find.

Still looking for a Abbot 433 !

I know of two 432s 1 x petrol, 1 x derv in Sussex that may come onto the market. I would have to get permission to pass on the owners details to you if you are interested.

Thanks Mick,

  i have some leads on some closer to home at the moment, will see how these work out.

Andrew

I await his return then, please keep me posted !

While im here, has anyone got a towing A frame? i made a steel one in 3 parts for the sabre a couple of years ago,  but its still heavy to move about, and my back isnt getting any better.

I enquired about a 432 6 months or so ago, it was on milweb, doncaster, not far from me, , offered 2k short of the asking price in cash, he wouldnt take it, may have another chat with him.

Yes, a 434 would be ok, tell me more!

Think these will have been hammered round a track and have a few hours on, need one thats been in private hands and looked after. Also must be road legal!

Any  FV 432s for sale anywhere?

Anyone got a gmc cckw 353 carburetor for sale?

what do you consider "too much work?"

That would be ideal if it was in uk

What part of the country are you in?

over 7.5 ton so dont think it can be driven on a car licence,  i stand to be corrected

Ive now blanked some of the radiator off, about half, runs at about 160F now, and runs better as well, i always keep my eye on the gauges of my older vehicles.

The GMC runs at 120 on the gauge, seems a little cool to me, is that the norm? i would have thought 200 would have been better,

what do your water gauges show?

Thanks nick, hardest one for me is 4th to 3rd, if i do it right ive lost forward speed to pull away, thanks

Andrew

Having trouble double clutching, not sure if im pushing the clutch in too far, does the gmc have a clutch brake or not?

Just had the truck a few days so in a learning mode. Thanks

Andrew

Wanted, gmc cckw 353 or similar

Hi all, im in the market for a gmc cckw 353 to add to my collect, anything considered.

Odd ones ive heard of have been fitted with a diesel, would this mean a diffrent gearbox would have been fitted too?

If anyone knows of a vehicle for sale with not too much work to do to it please let me know

Andrew

Any alvis stalwarts  out there for sale?
