"Cons - The spares are expensive." - which parts? all the parts i have ever had to buy seem to be good value for money. what other vehicle can you buy a full exhaust for £50? and a brake master cylinder for £20? Pros - great fun to drive, extremely reliable, fit in normal garage, out run all series land rovers!, very adaptable depending on taste. Cons - watch out for tons of filler and hidden rust!, Hotchkiss dressed and sold as WW2! (although hotchkiss is a far better Jeep!)

strange land rover axles, can any one shed some light on them? any body want them? Baz

Cheers LeeEnfield, very quick response. The truck has the low cab skirt for hauling petrol tankers and i guess ammo trailers? its all adding up :-D heres a couple of pictures of the bracket, i will get some better ones at weekend. Baz

while were at it, who can help out with the markings? i think its Royal Army Ordnance Corp, southern division, can any one shed further light on the subject, would be greatly appreciated. Baz

flying ahead now! managed to get sa few more bits and bobs done. got the front bumper, panel and radiator out. Wings are a bit rotten but managed to pick up a pair out of CMV this week, sweet :-D Radiator came out with ease and looks to be in quite good nick. Picked up a couple more wheels as well. found the rebuild plate on the engine and radiator, i love finding this sort of thing, gives it a proper history. Any ideas where i might find the chassis number?

may be one like this? it has a very distinctive rear panel on the cab with a deep cut out in the middle. i have been told its a pontoon carrier but i'm no expert on these trucks. it's a 6 wheeler but could not see the front axle so not sure of 6x4 or 6x6. mechanically its all there but in poor state. maybe looking for a new home?
-
mmmmm, maybe an albion, looks like this one http://www.armyvehicles.dk/albionby5.htm Any more ideas? Baz

1952 Jeep trailer built for the M38 jeep, its the same dimensions as a WW2 triler but has fatter tyres and different handbrake. made between 1951 and 1953. Cheers Baz

Sounds like a great idea, count me in :wave: -

nice one fella :-D one thing you might want to check is the fuel catch tank that the pump is bolted too just under the floor near the back door, quite often very dirty! -according my old man. Baz
