There can be few more satisfying things than making something like that run again.
I see my video of Howard's F15 pops up there too in related videos.
But I also saw something interesting - have you seen the French video of the F60T? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rACc6...eature=related

Have a look at This one for some Eastern Bloc Lend-lease fun.

How deep a hole can a Cab 12 Ford dig for itself?

Looks like the F60L from the Rockycany museum in the Czech republic; the truck has featured more than once on the forum and is now painted in Caunter camo for the Czech Tobruk movie.

Hi Hanno

That's an old video... 2 or 3 years old at least...... truck belongs to Alain Bedard in the Montreal area..... it is a bit of an odd ball truck....

I exchanged quite a few emails with Alain..... his rolling frame lokks like an early cab 11 with no provision for the later fuel filter in the frame ..underneath the driver...... frame is not even drilled for it.....

....but the cab fitted is a Ford cab with obviously no engine cover....... still running a 216 not sure if original..... I believe he would sell it if anyone is interested...... contact me anyone if interested.

Still a few treasures lurking around..... just need the luck to stumble upon them.

Strangely the front axle wheels where not spinning....... could driving in 2 wheel drive explain getting stuck...?

Lot to be said for pciking up enough momentum to bounce through obstacles.... facinating to see the front bumper/frame twist when the truck navigates the ruts in the road.....

Refreshing to see the old trucks in their intended environment instead of the parade ceremony.....
