berna2vm Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 She is a real beauty.The marker poles with flashers are the same as my Berna! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormin Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Looks like you're already ahead of me with your restoration there. Be good to see another similar truck coming along and lend me encouragement. What are the lines infront of the crane where the gas bottles usually go? Look like air lines. I see a larger than usual take off from the air manifold block on the bulkhead / firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormin Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Looks like good progress on the strip down. That back body is awkward to get off. They only really want to go vertically upwards because of the tight clearances between chassis side plates. We struggled a bit lifting using a overhead crane on mine and that was lightened with corrosion, they're a heavy lump. Goodness knows how difficult it was with a fork lift. Not looking forward to trying to get it back together. I may see how you do it first, you'll probably beat me to it. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

centi521 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 hi togheder the crane is down after one failed attempt we ties it now it's very easy to make the body and we think we make the new axles under. much parts are ready for sandblasting we're not sure if we painted the engine.. but he runs very good and the body is in a very good contidion ( no corrision ) ! and we need a new roof, but that's the same like on the GMC right?
