How very true Bob
I initiallly estimated 18 Months to rebuild the C15
took a bit longer !! as my truck had no brakes or engine I had no choice but to pull it apart and go through it.
Parts availability are an issue, brake master cylinder took over a year to track down, finding a usuable 235 engine was another adventure.
Saying that most parts can be rebuilt by specailist firms I would have had my master cylinder re-sleeved if I had not found a NOS one same goes for wheel brake cylinders and shoes.
A decent workshop is essential if you want to work all year I was lucky to rent one from a work colleague untill he sold up and moved to the other end of the country , new owner doubled the rent !!! so I had to move the almost completed truck back to my my boss's estate to finish brakes and then drive the beast to my mates where its stored at the mo.
