Ian L Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Got an email last night that there was another Bowser in a local scrap yard about to be 'weighed in' this time it is a late war '44' with 13" wheels and still had its data plates. The axel, springs, brakes & wheels are the same as my 20cwt GS trailer so some great spares, the hitch along with some other parts will properly find a hew home in the Czech Republic and the data plate are the going on my 20cwt Bowser restoration :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippotastic Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great find. Wouldn't this have had the split rims fitted though? The orange one looks very agricultural to me. I have a pair of 13" split rims if anybody needs them? :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austin Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Great find and save! Is that a GMC body in the background of the scrap yard pictures? I also see a '70's Suzuki GS wheel! :nut: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
