trinconig Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Almost all correct, "auxillary towing vehicle" they were not all Austins. designed to tow large trailer pumps of all types (coventry, dennis, harland,scammel and others). As such with a full crew and equipment they would become a complete fire fighting unit. It woould have been "NFS" national fire service originally. It should of course be grey and strangely if it went onto be with a local authority brigade appears never to have been painted red. good luck with the restoation.

Marmite!! Posted June 1, 2010 Author Share Posted June 1, 2010 What type of wood is the frame & floor made from?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Lee, I realise it's not much help but pre war Ash was commonly used for framing. I suppose wartime economy changed a lot of types of wood used but I do remember seeing somewhere on the web information on what truck manufacturers used. Post war trucks were still manufactured with wood framed cabs. Atkinson were still doing it this way in the 60's, maybe even early 70's. Perhaps this may just give you a starting point. Best of luck with your resto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marmite!! Posted June 5, 2010 Author Share Posted June 5, 2010 Moved the K2 to it's new home today with the help of Stuart & crew & the use of Ian's A-frame, I can start the restoration proper now:-D This was a bit loose:shocked: & started to get the workshop kitted out.

Degsy Posted June 5, 2010 Share Posted June 5, 2010 What a set up Lee, never worked in anything like that in 60 years. It will be good to see your K2 when you've returned it to it's former glory. They were ten a penny when I was young, bring back so many memories when I see one now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep finally getting everything under one roof rather than in 6 different locations, once I get all my workshop kit in there won't be much we won't be able to handle... not looking forward to moving my Milling machine again, 200kg & an awkward thing to handle, also need to get the 25pdr up there now so that I can carry on with that restoration, gave up trying to work outside at the Fort..
