Thanks Rich,i just thought torsion bar settings were off until i realised LHF tyre was an 8.25,i will be leaving tyre selection till very last.
i see a lot of people race out and buy new tyres first off on a lot of car restos but you know what its like ,time drags,priorities change,loss of interest yada yada and then you have a car still needing full rebuild with brand new buggered tyres(radial cracking etc).

rear of chassis reasonable cond really
roof with LMG 'rail'? mounts
lower back of cab is pretty well spotless for no rust
