TooTallMike Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 Parts for WW2 heavy trucks are still available, if not necessarily cheap. The most likely things you would need for a Ward laFrance are torque rods, which are still available NOS; brake diaphragms which you can get from the US; and transfer box parts as they are a known weak point due to poor lubrication. There are few if any NOS transfer boxes left, but rebuild isn't difficult and the bearings are off-the-shelf. ...and of course a modern diesel engine unless you like going up hills really slowly. - MG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
