Hi all,

Doesn't the carrier just compliment the 15cwt perfectly!?

Well I had my 666 for sale on milweb a while back which is 99% complete but needs completely restoring for 4k. There is one on milweb at present for 27k! I'm pretty sure I could make a profit!!!!

Hi Bob,

That's a great shame, the one that you restored in W&T and I remember seeing at RAF finningley was a huge inspiration for me as a teenager and has probably help drive my enthusiasm over the years with my own restorations and mv collection.

Ben

Hi Ben I think it looks the same as my QL capola ?

Yeap it's a ww2 british pattern part and the same/similar across most soft skin vehicles.

let me know if your interested?

regards

Ben

I did wonder if it was C8 buts its different to the one thats fitted on mine, why all the rivet/screw holes ? would it be fitted to the canvus cover or the hood frame ?

I have one of these ww2 capolas available, believe it came off a bedford OY?

£50 & can take to Malvern.

Hello Mariusz,

I assume you have been on the Sikorski web site for images and try Vojtek the soldier bear site which has some more pictures of my truck attached, let me know of any specific details you need.

regards

Ben

after a long time resizeing pics i have more to put up ,so these are me making the mud guards useing bits and peices of the old guards

Great progress mate well done, looking at the first picture of when you found it looks like the cast headlamp brackets are missing? I have a pair available.

regards

Ben

popped down to the Heavy drive round on sunday to have a play in the Belarus Bumped into Paul with his Ural.

here are a couple pictures

Wow thats an amazing bit of kit there mate, very impressed. How long have you owned it, any others available in the UK??

thanks

Ben

Not an early one, but the 4x4 GS bodied version which I was eager to own a couple of years ago. Never did find who the owner was?

WOW!!!!! An amazing resurection from what your dad (Colin) had to start with. The back body looks very precise and the restoration looks fantastic. A restoration that really demonstrates true grit and determination, especially as Colin has completed his restoration in just a few years!

thanks for posting the pictures

Ben

Hi Desertman,

Apologies for not getting in touch sooner, great looking project that you've got coming on there. I started on the MV scene about 10 years ago with a Dodge WC51 and seem to remember you then on the ww2 dodge forum? Anyways seems we've run similar paths both with marriages and trucks as I finished restoring mine from the ground up just like you but several years ago. Although I've owned many different trucks over the past ten years my FWD HAR-1 will always be my favourite. I helped The American gentlemen with some odds and ends for his truck and if your need anything give me a shout as I broke up a few trucks whilst restoring my own.

regards

Ben

Looks to good, complete and original for breaking, just a shame that it's a snow blower which are of little use or interest to most. I hope your father is making good progress with his truck.

regards

Ben

apologies for not being able to get these pic's to you sooner Roy and apologies again as it seems your assumptions were correct as it does have twin axles and not the hex' shaped headboard i thought it had.
