Seems like a good value club truck with no need for a stereo. Disclaimer, nothing to do with me.
 
 
I'd rather have tools that I don't need, than not have the tools I do need.

He started at $16k. I think $6-7k is max. Only had very light diffs and the cast rear suspension had been welded up a lot.

I'd also suggest its closer to 1974 than 1972.

I can not understand the enthusiasm for these Atkinsons unless you have a personal history and association. If ever there was a truck with a face that only a mother could love these would be it.

I know the "a lot of people made money out them" etc will  be put up but in the restoration beauty pageant of the era they would be at the end of the line to my eye. Maybe I am just fussy?

They were no better on the inside, it's what happen when the Poms and the Yanks start breeding.

One of the best looking trucks of their time..............but I could be biased!

I'll sell you mine for less than that.
I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!
