1976 SIII Front Axle?

[Tim Smith]

This is exactly what I ws looking/hoping for!!! (feedback, that it)

This is a locking front, it ~was~ disengaged when I looked at it, for what that's worth.

1/2 shackle - I assumed it was some sort of hack/towing setup...or as described, somethign for shipping. Nothing has apparently been done to it since it came off the boat.

It is indeed a RHD (which is what I want) and it is a diesel (more in another thread). My impression is that this truck was cobbled together in the UK, then exported. The axles seem to be swap-ins, the engine doesn;t match the VID tags (Petrol not Diesel), and a lot of patch work seems quick-fix in nature.

That being said, Series are the coolest truck out there & I have a bit of a crush on this one :-\

I'll get another pix up once I get it uploaded to another site.

Thx,
S

Ding ding ding
We've got a winna!

Sounds like the truck needs you as much as you need the truck.
Congrats!

this ~should~ be a closeup image....but on the opposite side.



I can;t check the truck again...a little too far from my house for a random driveby and sit under the truck for 1/2 hour.

I think I am on-board with the brake lines...I'll post more questions, then we'll see if another dream becomes a nightmare

Thx,
S

Sharp eye.

But did you notice that the truck is a RHD?

Didnt look any different than mine, but mine is RHD too so didnt notice.
