Attached you will find some pictures of the HUW that can often be seen on shows in the Northwest of Holland. I understand the truck was once restored by the father of the current owner, before he passed away. You will see that rust has since claimed a piece of the truck.

@Mike, I send you some more pictures of this truck by email.

Alex

p.s. Rob, your truck looks brilliant!

Default HUW pics

Some great detail shots here - nothing I have would add to what Rob and Alex have posted. I am also going to have to make up a map table at some future date.

Default Battery hold downs

The pics showing the battery hold down posts with wing nuts under the wireless table is interesting. Can anyone come up with dimensions for these so I can make up a set for my HUW? All I have left on the floor is four tabs welded to the floor.

Bruce, a fellow enthusiast over here is currently restoring an HUA which was very complete internally although suffered from years of British weather exposure on the external skins! However the two battery frames and four lead battery trays are all present and I am sure I can source some dimensions. Unfortunately the previous owner had stripped out the interior and although most large lumps are obviously identifiable as to where they should go some decent drawings/photos would certainly assist with the reinstatement detail/wiring runs. Likewise any 'stowage diagrams/information' greatly appreciated.

Here is a picture of the same HUW "CZ 4210417" set up as a radio post at Longues sur Mer, Normandy, June 2004. It is owned by Ron Bechtholt.
