Rob2497 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 hi all, thanks for accepting me into the fold. i am of the airport fire truck scene, in particular the Bedford and Scammell/thornycroft chassis under Pyrene/Chubb Fire bodied vehicles. my father was part of their test and development from the 60's to their demise in '85. i own the build sheets and sales records for most of the trucks around the world. i have city & guilds in motor vehicle, fluid transmission, welding and metal fabrication, vehicle electrical, combustion engine and carburation. my current restoration is a chubb spearhead, pretty much the only one left it's based on a modified MK chassis with heavy duty axles and powered by a chrysler 440 petrol V8 through an allison MT640 box. most chassis parts are easy to find but the axles i'm struggling to i'd.... so i thought i'd dip my toe into the military scene where i know knowledge is plentyful ! regards Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got any photos of the Spearhead? there's certainly some TACR owners around here somewhere, though I've a soft spot for the Alvis Salamander Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
