Some encouragement...

got me fired up a bit lookin at v8 inters buy, dragged the ole c1800 out, knocked the step tanks off dropped, the box out, (crook clutch), love to hear the 160 cummins roarin again, be interestin' to see what a clutch is worth... jk..

Hope you've got those Step tanks well hidden.Knighty.

I can see Gilly doin' a Midnight dash, In 11 sleeps time


EDIT: On second thoughts Knighty..

Hide the LOT

Knighty,

That sure looks like a nice little project, all looks complete. I take it she has the 160 with a 5 speed and two speed diff, good little worker.

Charlie.

gidday boys, be interestin to see this flash rig of gillys next weekend, i'll check his toolbox before he leaves and year truckit it's in pretty good nick, bugger all rust but a ding in the bonnet where the bull bar hit it... jk

Knighty, some of the faded line work on that truck looks mighty familiar, very similiar to what the old K&S colour scheme used to be. Any history on the old jigger?
Getting the box out looks an interesting job, I have already assessed the project for when i fit the 13 speed, concluded that picking the front up with the forklift after dropping the box might be a option.
Now for the trade, I have what appears a nearly brand new clutch on one of my spare motors, as well as another complete clutch on a 180 motor
I have been told these clutches are approx 800 odd, do you really need your step tanks
Lokking forward to steering the old girl to Dubbo, but hey, she was a working truck under a tri axle tipper prior to my purchase, no big show room respray etc, just a little tidy up, maybe a cab resto when i retire & have more time.. I am shopping though >

There ya go Chocs, got some motivation and cleared all the junk away from the work area.
Whipped the bonnet off (Mates come in handy) and thought about getting one project out before the next one arrives.

Nice Beddy HARDSHAR, loving the colour should come up ace.
