hello guys

we just bought a federal 94x43 closed cab,it was at 6km from our house in the back of a farm

it's in bad condition but may be we can do something with it.

man who scrap old vehicles was looking to buy it and wanted to cut,we offer little more money and the owner prefered it was saved

we will collect it next week,and made some photos of the rescue

does anyone have pictures of this model?? inside cab,rear etc..

it's powered with diesel engine but we have hercules RXC for it

missing fifth wheel and spare wheels supports and lot of work

doors are very bad and rear panel of the cab also

thanks for help to find pictures

best regards

willy

in fact a friend who have a small museum closed it 2 years ago and sold all vehicle.the photo was taken on museum.we bought it .

the friend gave a second complete engine..autocar is complete turning,with trailer.

we found the second (blue) on a scrap near our home,diesel engine is LATIL .(i think 50's years)

this autocar was use on the mountainto recovery lorries in winter when the were in trouble with snow,a plow was fitted on it.And if you look details they fitted axles from U8144T auotcar.But it's a U7144T.

i bought it for parts,but keep it like this.And finally i found 2 U7144T axles,i have also the second engine from the first deal so we decided to keep it in one part and try to find parts to restore it.

our soon is very interested in autocar.:yay:
