Default Work in progress

Apologies to all who have had to look at one picture per post.

Howard has shown me how to resize photo's to reduce the amount of bytes they take so I'll do that from now on Cliff.

I must admit I was trying for dramatic effect as well but this seems to have failed dismally

Anyway I'm having fun

Default Nice going Tony....

...... nice to see the "Golden Arches" of the cab11/12...... so simple yet soooo complex.....

Make sure you get the engine sorted out good before putting up the cab or you will be sorry...... they were not designed for ease of access.

Default Feedback

At last, many thanks Bob for a comment on the truck. Any advice is more than welcome. We can attest to access of the engine as we got Howards cab12 going in a paddock. Keith has also advised me that some of the components in the engine bay were black such as the starter motor the generator and the spark plug conduits. You may also notice the carbie does not have the correct set up for the choke cable (so I'm told) nor is the fuel pump the original type (so I'm told)

I invite MLUer's to engage with me on this thread please.

The 'choke cable' is not a cable but a shaft with a typical Ford spring-loaded ball and socket on the carby end, rather like the throttle linkage on the other side.
