I located the truck in a farm shed where it had been parked for 20 years after blowing a head gasket. I paid one weeks labour for it so far I have done the engine rebuild along with a new clutch. I have done up all the brakes and made the truck driveable.Since then I have move to a new town. Now i ahave striped the cab off and removed all the chassis parts had all the part sand blasted and painted. Now i am reassembling the truck from the ground up here are some pics for you to see http://s873.photobucket.com/albums/ab299/Stevens10/Paul

One weeks labour....?
Either you're very well paid,or you got a real bargain! It looks great.
Are you going to save the door art?
Keep up the good work.

I plan to keep DRUM OAk WYDHAM in the doors
when the engine and front fenders where off. I replaced all the door pillers with new metal and repaired the fender mounts onto the firewall and they where all rust as I am a coachbuilder I am able to complete all the work myself.
I will add more up to date pics soon

I love the original signage on the door.
Nice also , that it hasn't been sucked up by the Richardson museum.
