Went on its first road run yesterday for an MOT .It passed. But we did take the INTERNATIONAL with just in case but did not use it . The DODGE had not been on the road since its last test in HOLLAND 2008 . Then put them back in the garage. Then to DLVA CHEMLFORD with all the paperwork .Everything was in order and it was registered .First time i have gone there and not have to go back because of something wrong with the paperwork T CORBIN

Brief history . Last owner from 1973 ,He got it from the Swiss army .Give it a coat of OD & used it once a year until 2005.It was still taken for equivalent MOT test in Holland every two years .Until March this year. It has Dutch data plates still one reads 1957 . Later rear lights . electric wipers heater fitted .Hood NO is wrong .It is very original .Will put it back to original 1944 when we get more info on frame NO . T CORBIN

Arrived today from Holland to M25 Lakeside services then to MALDON .Next problem DVLA Chelmsford for registration ? T CORBIN

Hi James Nice to have a new member on the forum .With a GTB that will be restored .Looks like you have most of the parts that go missing (GAS TANK SPARE WHEEL CARIRER DRIVERS SEAT ) .As Bas said the steering is as good as power steering . But a lot of turns of wheel to turn the truck on full lock . Plenty of grease & oil in everything that should move . Jack up front end work steering should work lose .T CORBIN This one restored in 2007
