1943 Morris Commercial C8 4x4 GS project

[svdwal]

Thanks for the replies,

It's hard to find Morris Commercial C8 GS owners and information, indeed the owners are not much around.
I am indeed very happy that this truck is fairly complete and everything is available to get it moving in a few weeks time.

At the moment work is being down on the electrical system, and the radiator has a new core. The old one was completely filles with rust and stuff.
I hope to have it on licenseplates and moving in november.
Then i can move the truck from my friends workshop to mine to get the cosmetic work done.

Rgds.

At the moment work is being undertaken at the wiring, the wiring that was still in place was the original wiring. This was in a very bad state and needs to be replaced.
The wiring that is used for rewiring is visuallly identical to the original wiring.

Also the lead wires to the spark plugs are changed to copper core wire, the former owner had installed fancy modern wires, which withstand radio influences etc. Really nice, but not for a vehicle like this.

This morning i ordered the British Olive Drab paint from Military Vehicle Paints, the base colour for the truck.



Rgds,

Hi Mike,

Actually these light are American lights.
These will be changed after i've got the truck on the road. It needs EU legale and marked headlights and these are.
My NOS original Butler headlights are not.
