R Cubed Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Good afternoon to one and all, I have come across this and have now joined, thanks Jack for a warm welcome. I have been involved in M.V.'s for 10 years or so when I bought a CCKW 352 B1, as with all theses things its an on going battle to maintain, the latest items to need attention are front steering and replacement of fuel tank with a stainless steel one which I hope to make myself, as I did with the exhaust.. Pic of exhaust bellow. R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Cubed Posted March 9, 2007 Author Share Posted March 9, 2007 I will do some pics of the truck tomorrow as I need to move it about a bit to be able to start the king pin bearings and steering box. The exhaust probably took about a month from planning to finished, I had it bent to a pattern and then tig welded up its all stainless 304 and 1.5 mm thick with a 12mm manifold flange, this is actually a spare one as I had two made. :-) I suppose this should go on up to the general discusion from now on !! Just a tease, just to show what you can drive over :-o :-o R Cubed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
