Gordon_M Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) Rock 'n Roll, one of the three surviving Sno-Cats from the Transantarctic Expedition of the mid 1950's is being restored in Oregon at the Tucker plant where it was made. While it was in the UK ( at what was then the Chrysler plant in Kew I think ) it was fitted with a bunch of British equipment and gauges, including a Lucas gauge for the battery electrolyte temperature and a matching switch panel I've been asked to find them, functional or not, and I thought that if anyone would know where to get a set it would be somebody on here. Military connections ? well the project was staffed from Commonwealth Forces, and the Sno-Cat does have a script F Ford GPW tow hook on it. As incentive, have a look at the You Tube video of it moving again under its own power for the first time in fifty years or so; [video=youtube_share;ooaIcD09FfU] Edited January 12, 2015 by Gordon_M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
