hi all,
although one might think, presarvation of militery veuchles in Israel is not common. as for me, I am a car collector, and interesting in militery history.
about carriers in israel- the Israely army never realy used them. most of carries in the ccountry where capture from the Egypt army in the suez conflict in 1956. few of them can be seen in militery museum. but, i know of only one that was restored. I found my in a sattelment in the north, kids played on it, and that is why it was painted very colorfull, that was the reason that it was full of sand. although the rod on the top of the tower of the transmisson was missing, and the trany was exposed to weather, rain, and sand, i was amazed to find, that after cleaning it, it functions. also found that the wheels turns free. i already got a good ford engine. I would like to bring it to a runing condition first. now I am restoring the sreering system. it took me some time to identify what kind on screwing are there. omg, 7/16 bsf???
so, I enjoy very much the experience.
arie
