Default Photos Now Included

As promised, here are some photos of the HUP before coming off the trailer. It leaked out a bunch of it's transfer case oil (it is a chev after all...it has to leak), and it's currently stuck in gear, but those are minor problems. As you can see in some of the photos, some tidying up of the body will still need to be done, but overall Mark has done a good job cleaning it up. All new glass and channels, wiring harnesses, brakes....just needs some TLC and assembly.

The 5/4 ton was used to pull it down, and bring it into the quonset for the winter. What is not shown are the dozen or so boxes of parts, some used and some NOS. Goodies like NOS overflow tank, muffler, lights, and mirrors, and plenty more. The truck is currently on ferret tires, but these will soon be exchanged for a set of the STA 10:50X16 that I have saved up in the shed. I didn't even have a project for them...I just bought them cause I knew someday........
In fact, I have been hoarding an original HUP parts manual for the last 31 years, also because I knew one day I would have one of these. Then again, I have been hoarding dozens if not hundreds of manuals.....I won't live long enough to have them all. But I really did want a HUP.

Rob, you've got a nice unit there. It looks even better than when I last saw it at Gronlid!

I was lucky enough to have picked up this 1941 C15A from Mike in 2006, was very complete and very nice condition, had been stored for years indoors only minor rust. I had tried to buy the HUP but by the time I finally made up my mind to buy it had already been sold.

Default Gronlid Truck

Lucky find. Now that I am close enough to Gronlid...(and actually have been past there a few times before I read this post) Too bad I am slow on the take. Good catch Rob!. If you need anything from that area, let me know before I move back to Manitoba. I better call Mickey before i move in case he has parts for me...
