wreck
 Just had a great thought, ( don't get those too often ) Why not put it through your trucking company's insurance? Just tell them it was a fully restored carrier when it was picked up. Those A-h#les deserve it after charging you more money to re-ty it down. P.S. They will probably try to charge you for damage to the container too.  The more people I meet the more I like my cat.

hahahaha good idea Ledsel i can say it rusted up as a result of the shock
Rob sent me some photo's of the bits, it was nice to see a cardboard box filled with linkages and some strange peices, i will post it up and we can play "guess the component" game  there are some very questionable track pins in there too.    On the rear deck pannel there appears to be some sort of square frame made from right angle ? and one exhaust sheild is solid where as the other is the mesh type ? and the box of bits.  i can see track pins, part of a steering linkage, and a service cover plate from the bottom of the hull (but which one ?) what are the rest folks ?

It is part of the gas tank strap the egg shaped pieces on the right are fuel drain patches for the hull floor and the square piece on the left is a fuel tank hold down bracket.

The square angled piece on the sheet metal deck is the bracket to hold the jack block. The exhuast covers are supposed to be like that. One is solid since the tarp sits on it a bit. Underneath the sheet metal is asbestos. The other is just open mesh style since no tarp.
