25 pounder Posted March 16, 2010 Share Posted March 16, 2010 nice tool the forklift , I lifted the cargo (tool box) with four jacks and oil drums , not the easiest way to do , I admit ! Absolutely necessary to remove the cargo bed to deliver good work on the truck's frame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haybaggerman Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Nice looking truck, and a good project. Did you polish the front end of the merlo for the photo, because no telehandler stays THAT clean does it? Good work Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timbo Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Mate is that a turret ring at the back of the shed if so what from...? Nice truck though! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpu121265 Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 We need to get that GMC out of the way so the sherman can be reunited with her engine and (amongst a pile of other things) that turret ring! Then there's the WC16, Studebaker US6, WC13 and Ford GP waiting in the queue - oh, and of course, Adam's WC9! Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrogg Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Nice looking truck..good luck with the resto:) Just one little thing..its should be "Too hot to handle"! You don't want "helpful" members of the public constantly pointing that out to you at every show you go to!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpu121265 Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 Yep, it's a DUKW. To Hot to Handle was the name of this truck when we got 'her' - it will be renamed once the paint goes on. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
