This is a better photo of the plate 

I’m in the process of restoring a 1945 Leyland Hippo. When the time comes to register etc(hopefully next year) will I be able to register with the old army number. I have located a plate on the chassis with the said registration. Than

I’m looking for 2 x 20” wheels to fit Leyland Hippo . The plan is to fit them on the steering axle with 12.00 tyres.

I have 22” rims on the front with 10.50 tyres but as most of you know it’s virtually impossible to find those tyres. I can pick up anywhere on mainland uk. Thanks 

Anybody know where I could find 20”  10 stud rims for Leyland Hippo?

I have been toying with the idea of putting modern rims & tyres on the front & back.

Thank you all for the info. 

John 1950 & 7VHU Thank you both. The info is invaluable. I will have a look this weekend when I get home from work. Thanks again 

Thanks John 1950 & Adrian.   Yes Adrian twins on the back. The fronts are 11.00-22

I have 36x8 tyres on the rear axles of my Leyland Hippo. Can anybody tell me the modern equivalent tyre size please? Thanks 

Thanks Paul. We have to do everything outside. Next job is welding the cab roof.

Just to update, I have done a deal for the purchase of a Leyland Hippo

I can collect the vehicle myself. I drive for O G Owen Transport from Anglesey.

Hopefully, I can collect before the end of May.

Then the work begins.

Thanks to Olivedrabsteptoe for the heads up.

Thanks. I will ring him tomorrow.

Thanks Runflat
