I passed my test after 1997 so I'm stuck not being able to drive a 7.5 tonne truck! Quite a pain to say the least. I'll have to go back and make further enquiries about the truck - apparently the people who own the yard want rid of it and since the owner is dead they will be looking little to nothing for it. Any idea where I could obtain a radiator and rocker cover??

I'm new to this site - been browsing around looking at the pics since finding the AEC (?) truck I found to find out more information about it. So sorry if this is in the wrong section. Basically I came across this truck by accident when I was buying a welder. I asked him about it because from a distance I could only see four wheels (two are flat) and I thought it was a Bedford 4x4 truck which would have interested me more. Apparently this truck was used by a guy to drill water wells up until about 10 years ago. He told me it's an ex military truck of some sort and doesn't require MOT/Tax because of this. I took a photo of it and then looked up similar trucks to try and identify it. I concluded that it was an AEC Militant MK1 SWB. Hard to tell without the radiator which appears to have been ripped off the front of it. Would there be any interest from someone located in Northern Ireland in this truck? I would hate to see this going to the scrap but it's just too big for me - I can't drive anything over 3.5 tonnes on my license. Is this a rare truck? I could be persuaded to have a go at getting it running and moving if it was. The engine is all there but the rocker cover has been stolen at some stage as well.
