My engine has the bars. The number stamped on the machined surface is F1031L.
 The only picture I have of the underside is this one:  Thanks for the advice so far. It will be nice to find out what this "hybrid" really consists of. It only cost me £2500 and I'm not concerned that it isn't fully original. If it was the price would have been much higher I'm sure.

Good news ...bad news.....
You have a desirable 261 cubic inch engine...... will check the serial number for dates...
....but you have HUP axles...... and probably a modified HUP frame...... Now don't let it worry you...... the truck looks good... and if it drives half as well ....just enjoy it. Still puzzled how they got the gas pedal linkage from the right side to move the carb on the left side...... maybe a flexible throttle cable..... Bob C.

Boob to Bob....
You are right Bob..... not sure I would want to trust a simple choke cable to stop and go traffic..... although I find the setup interesthingly simple.....
Now from the serial number of F1031L.... the engine is 1957 to 1961..... and decoding WILL require the casting numbers raised from the block..... should be 7 numbers like.....3769716...... seems that the serial number coding was abondonned after 1957 and you need the block casting number plus the serial numbers and possibly the head casting numbers (xxxx50)to sort out the puzzle. Interesting vehicle...... Boob

I'm not too keen on that cable but mainly because it is frayed and the return spring is quite weak. The loud pedal is also very worn and wobbly so I'll have to replace it. The clutch uses Land Rover master and slave cylinders.
I don't mind paying for postage if I can get a suitable pulley for the pump from Canada. What diameter should it be and how would I get the old one off the pump? The engine runs sweet and is mechanically very quiet. I read up on the history of it and was delighted to discover that it was designed by a Dane. I'm from Denmark myself. I can make out some of the block numbers in a picture. It looks like 38368 and 5 or 7. Last edited by Eastblock; 26-07-10 at 21:20.
