Hello Alex

Yes she has really cleaned up a treat. The truck seems so far to be in pretty good order. I do need a parts manual, so if anybody out there has a parts book with the parts numbers i would like to buy one. I need to give Dirk an order but he needs the parts numbers.

Thanks Howard

Well more work has been carried out on the C60s. Ive broken down the front axles, and now need the oil seals that fir in the axle. Ive also broken down the transfer box and need the oil seals for that. I also need the oil seal for the gear box. I have also started cutting out the rotten metal from the floor of the body, the main middle section of sheet metal will be staying as its not to bad. Apart from Dirk does any body know of another supplier of the oil seals please. Are post some more pics soon. Howard
