Hope you bag one Max!
Sounds great Max, sorry I can't go with you.
Have fun - hope the truck's in some sort of order. Just not too good to strip!

About time for overdue update
Gday all,
About time I got stuck back into it. In the theme of the honourable RH Clarke (Mr Hup) "Ive got some time & even a couple of dollars". Ive finally got the brakes in the beast - thanks to my good mate H for helping me bleed them up. Of course initial pressing of the brake pedal caused the brake system to turn into an attractive water feature until we tightened everything up. Remaining Handbrake & transfer case components have been found - thanks to Mighty Max Hedges and a Neville Gillete an old Cocky from out Ardlethan way. Some pictures

More pictures
Man! I just realised - the bloody thing looks really dusty.
Its not as bad as it looks - honestly Anyway some more pictures. By the way - isnt the fuel tap a thing of beauty - brass and copper do look fantastic when they're given bit of a spit n' shine.

More progress
Howdy all,
Handbrake is in! I freed up the return spring in the top of the Handle but it is sticking again (I am surprised after the very liberal coating of grease I gave it!) Anyway I'm sure it will free up completely with a bit of use. One fuel tank is hooked up - some will notice Ive used rubber fuel line. Thats because Ive installed put some inline fuel filters. The plan is to make sure the remaining samll amount of crap I suspect is still in the tanks is well and truly gone before setting the lines up to original spec.

More progress
Found some screw head countersunk bolts for the floor. They arent quite the same diameter as the originals but very close (slightly smaller) they are also not high tensile. The only high tensile ones I could get had an allen key head.
We'll see how they go. Just as I was getting some momentum & starting to fit the seat runners, Ive discovered the timber has shrunk or warped or something. Because the holes don't line up with the floor   Ill be able to drill them out a bit I think as long as the edges dont split. If they do, I really will chuck a wobbly......... The main thing that really makes you feel like your progressing at the rate of an asthmatic ant with a heavy load of shopping. Is cleaning up old bolts. Its certainly worth doing, but brother!! is it tedious...... The only thing that keeps you awake is when one gets sucked into the wire wheel, then fired out with an almighty bang to some random location in the shed. You spend the next 10 minutes on your hands and knees looking for the bloody thing, then proceed to repeat the process once you get back to the wire wheel.
