Needs a little TLC. Well at least he didn't call it RARE!!!! or "It ran when I parked it.'

Sad.

If the body could just have been pulled before the frame went, it might have been worth saving.

Actually, if someone wanted a fairly stock and unmodified IIA this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Land-Rover-LAND-ROVER-TRUCK-1962-LAND-ROVER-SERIES-2-4X4-PICK-UP-PROJECT-OR-PARTS_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ6296QQihZ024QQite mZ370012774211QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVWwould be the ticket. You would need new chasiss and bulkhead but everything else looks fixable. If it was in the southeast I would consider purchasing.

Now I like that Vancouver truck. Although the interior is very 70's even for a 1960's truck. She still holds it agianst me and really can't quite understand how I ended up with my IIA as well as my 101. She knows never to question the 101 but the IIA irks her something stupid.

With this in mind I must resist bidding as it would ruin my chances with my wife of getting my dream machine Stolly. After five years I've got her down to 'I'll divorce you if you get it.' which is better than 'No!.' and 'It'll never happen.' She is weakening!

I've asked the seller of the first ebay truck if it smokes any on start up and if the brakes are in good adjustment.

It's always good to know these things before you bid...
:p
