If this truck was used for training, new drivers, it may answer some age old questions or myths about new drivers.

1. What condition is the clutch plate, flywheel, pressure plate and are they original? Or do they show the wear of lots of drivers learning how to start on hills?

2. Are the teeth of the gears all rounded off? All that double clutch shifting or near misses in the effort to shift?

3. Are the brakes like new or are the worn right down to the rivets?

Derk needless to say you have a wonderful find. Wonder what the protocol of retaining the current door lettering and numbers even with ambulance body?
