1. It is not registered, nor ever has been, I can not find a chassis number, would this be on a plate somewhere? what/where am I looking for?
Chassis number is stamped on the chassis rail, right hand side, just below the passenger door. It wll start and end with a star. It's not stamped very clearly, and could easily be hidden by layers of paint.
2. She doesnt run very well, runs with full choke, makes a strange sucking noise, so sucking in a lot of air even with choke out, when I push choke in, sucking stops but so does engine? today I took off the fuel pump, to clean and check, it was mucky with flakes, I wondered if there was fuel starvation? will refit it tomorrow and see.
May be the carb, am I right in thinking that the Solex sucks in air through the side of the carb as well as the Air Filter?
Sucking noise is normal for a WOT2 with the choke out. Both my Ford V8 vehicles do this.
It is my suggestion that the engine stopping/poor running is due to the distributor needing setting up (I have found that 90% of poor running on a Ford V8 is due to distributor problems). You need to get someone with the right setting up tool to do this for you - don't try any other way or you Will get work. Also you must replace the condensor with a Lucas type DCB121C. Fit Champion 7 plugs (from Green spark plug Company).
3. Although it has a wireless back body and the guy who I got it from had collected all the kit we are not sure how it goes, ie tables, operators chair wireless set up?
Any one any photos of the inside of a 15cwt Wireless truck.
If it is the house type, you don't have a wireless truck, but a light warning truck. These were only supplied to the Royal Artillery as office type vehicles, and contained the Officer, maps, table, Field telephone and maybe a WS 17. The house body was built by Morris and supplied to Ford.
I have sent you a PM.
