I brought this around to my yard yesterday and had a proper look ... it is MINT ORIGINAL 30,000 mile 1 owner from new. He bought it from new and hauled grain once a year in the season then parked it up indoors the remainder of the time

Everything is original including push button radio. There is a homemade toolbox under the bonnet that I`ll remove and a second fuel tank which will come out.

Had a proper look at VIN plate and this is rated at 24000 lbs ( 10,800 kg ) so will build to this ... higher than I originally thought so that`s good.

Antifreeze is good so will get some fresh fuel in it and get it running.

Then get the tyres swapped out hopefully next week when I collar my mate

Did some " work " on this today ... whilst 150 miles away

Got my new tyres fitted ... all new so no frigging about for years

Next job is get it running and stopping, then it can have the body done

SOMEONE GOT A BIT EXCITED LOOKING OVER THE TRUCK JON

Jon Connolly · Post by **Jon Connolly** » Fri Apr 05, 13 6:02 pm

Got the truck running today + it drives real nice

Everything works - park brake, 2 speed rear, brakes, elecs

Just need to give it a service and do a couple of repairs, paint + underseal body and chassis then it is off to body builders for a " HODGES " car hauler body
