Anton, zil131

Hi Wally  I assumed my truck had been uprated having the unusual twin rear wheels according to dvla website my trucks revinue weight is 6000kg

Thanks for the info anyway cheers 

Still waiting for logbook back wish I had applied for it on line now 

Hi Sean yes I think that is a safe bet 

I will let you know how I get on 

Thanks for the info and pictures 

Wally greatly appreciated 

Cheers anton 

Managed to get a picture of the tag in the glove box lid

But number is different to the aluminium tag I found on floor inside the cab???? 

Also the tag in drivers chassis rail near steering box has rotted off😒

OK thanks 👍

6300lbs

Is 2850 kg approx

So gvw  would be 5 or 6 tonne

Cheers anton 

Hi Sean    

The tag inside the glove box lid is brass  will take pictures tomorrow 

Need to check o/s chassis rail near steering box like you said 

The k9, s are a new thing for me some of the data I've read gives gvw of 4950

But I suppose they where used quite widely and diversly so you may well be right with the over 6 tonne gvw

The orange is really orange like a b and q orange definitely not red oxide 

Cheers anton 

Today I have also found a i'd tag riveted to the inside of the glove box lid  says quote for spares a brass plaque  with 6 digits on but they are different to the chassis tag pictured before??? 

The plate is missing from left hand chassis rail although you can see where it once was

The rear axle looks narrower than normal   and the wheel track on rear is only slightly wider than front

It's also plated at 6000 kg. Not 4950 like most k9, s according to the dvla information held

Also confusingly  the original paintwork is orange everywhere underneath the camo green 

Chassis hubs cab everything orange??? 

Thanks for the info 

Cheers anton 

Cab is also or

OK mate thanks 

Will do 👍👍

No can't see anything on chassis rails

Found a small tag detached lying on floor in cab rusted off but not sure if it's the tag used on this vehicle or whether it's from something else (another vehicle perhaps) 

Hi I've just purchased a Austin k9

Reg number usv615

I want to apply for new v5 but I'm struggling to find a chassis number 

I've checked on dvla website vehicle is a 1959  but wasn't registered till much later 1986

Just wanted to put has much info as possible on v5 application form to stop it bouncing bk to me

Based in Derbyshire 

Any help greatly appreciated 

Cheers anton 

What a shame all the ones pictured have 2 piece windscreens mine as a one piece does rhis make mine a earlier or later model ????? 

Maybe they have ended up at the big scrap yard in the sky

It came as a chassis cab, so no idea really I'm guessing it was a rigid though as it as a tow hitch in rear x member to row a trailer 

Will have a look at the link attached russian military link thanks 👍 👍 👍 👍 

OK thanks 👍 👍 

Much appreciated

I have just been through the registration loop with  a champ  military vehicles do not have a vin  number . Its hard talking to the DVLA so i suggest getting  a club to do a Ietter  giving as much information as possible contact DVLA and see what they want . They may want to register as a new vehicle V55/5 but if its old enough it will go as a historic vehicle  if it has a data plate to prove its age Send pictures any numbers you can find if they are happy they send a man out  from SGS company .  A chassis number usually is the reg No or a hull No on some vehicles

Bought from a guy who had 3 Wich came from a farm auction 

That's about all I know on its history 

It as a plague on dash Wich is stamped with 1977

But that's it!!! 

Will try that thread thanks
