FWD HAR-01

[Neil Ashley]

At the weekend I inspected a FWD HAR-01 on behalf of the MVT.

The owner requested that I posted the vehicles details and request any further information on this vehicle type other than that already contained in Wheels and Tracks number 5.

Details of the Truck are as follows (see attached pictures).

Data Plate inside drivers door reads:-
GL. Mk 111 CANADIAN - REL
Truck - No.3
Assembly No. - ZC/C2675
Serial No. - 305
Supply Mechanical 2828

Engine Plate Reads:-
Model - 6B770C
No. - 518196

Stencilled on doors:-
L8735454
Z3-shed 18B
SPLY/ES3/RIB
SPBSC2354

The truck was purchased in 1947 for use in a timber yard in Wiltshire. The truck was subsequently disposed of and the original owner has now purchased it back for restoration.

He is trying to find some manuals for the truck, a pair of head lights and a body. Also details of appropriate war-time markings for this truck would be appreciated (presumably Royal Artillery).

I am trying to find the location of the Chassis number which is necessary for first registration. Can any one help with this or is it already on the data plate under a different name?

For reference this owner has been discussed before on the other FWD thread and used to own several FWD's of various types.
He still owns a GMC Tank engine which used to power his saw mill.
