Finally I succeeded in finding a good COE.
It was imported to Norway from the US in 2011 and subsequently restored until 2014.
It came up for sale in back in 2021 and I tried to buy it, but was not quick enough, a que had already form for it.
I had since then given much thought to what happened to it.
Around Easter a friend on mine in Norway manage to track it down and get in contact with the new owner (who in the end didnt really enjoy driving it) , and then suddenly things moved quickly with the result that I flew to Norway, Friday to collect it and take the ferry home Saturday.
It is in a very good condition, but it needs a bit of detailing, I need the rubber stops for the hood, the dash trim in front of the driver, I could use a new front emblem for the hood, and other small bit.
But now with a bit of servicing and TLC its ready to be back on road.
Does anyone have good pictures of how the hood latches/locks look and work

Niels,

Let me add my congrats to Spanky's!

We have a few Stovebolters here with nicely restored trucks like yours -- hopefully they will chime in soon with pictures and info for you.

Great score!

What an outstanding truck. I am sure folks will provide details and pictures as they can soon.

Be sure to let us know the specific parts you maybe looking for. Not sure how helpful it could be, but you can always post an ad in Truck Parts Wanted.

Nice very nice. I fell in love with those years ago but at 80 years old a little late for me to get one.
