Very nice!! Was very tempted by it myself!!!! I'm also looking for a body for my K6!!!

Tim

Richard

Thanks for that!!Now to start the hunt for a period radio body!!!!! May find the Holy Grail first tho eh!?!?!?!?

Tim

Finally re-started work on my K6 on Sunday!!!! Amazing what a trip to Beltring can do (even if we did get soaked!!)

Looking at the plate on the engine bulk head it reads "k6#####/ZB (the ## being the number which i cant remember!)

My query is does anyone know what the ZB stands for? I presume its body type but which one!?!?!?

P.S. The RAF K3/4 at Beltring was stunning!! Does it belong to a forum member?

Hi Graham

Just to let you know I did seek you out on Friday but managed to miss you! Had a good look over the K6....very nice! Perhaps I can come and have a good look and a chat one day!?!?

Tim

Graham

Will be up on Friday, so will definately come and see you!!

Wondered if this may help in my quest for windscreen frames!?!?!?

Are you taking your K6 to Beltring?

regards Tim

Thought I would run this one past you all!!! Were the cabs for Austin "K" series, Bedford "O" series and civillian Morris Commercial all made by the same firm!?!?!?

I was at a rally over the weekend and thought how similar the cab on a 46 Morris was to my K6?

Thankyou for that! I bought mine with a post war radio body on it but from what i can gather it was actually a bomb carrier! Came from Vass's and was converted post war to a fire appliance!! The intention is to go for either a flat bed or a wartimr radio body!!! I have a manual and handbook which i managed to find on fleabay!!! Have any of you replaced the leather gaiters on the rear axles?? The k is very sound the onlf prob is the windscreen frame is missing!!....the screens had been kept in with filler!!! I will post some pics soon and would love to see pics of yours!!!

Tim.
