To Pieter Bergman who's post I missed months ago,, please feel free to use the photos if you still wish to. Somewhere in my attic I have a box with hundreds of photos of junkyards, well drillers, ship wrecking yards and various other places that I visited in the 1970s, 80s and 90s. There was still lots of goodies around in those days!

Hey Bob, seeing you threw in a pair of pliers with the HUW, what do I owe you for them?

Hi Bruce, no charge for the pliers. I am delighted to see the progress you have made on the truck. While there is great satisfaction in restoring a vehicle and getting it back on the road, there is also satisfaction in seeing vehicles that you have owned passed along to someone who will actually fix them, not just dream about doing it! Keep up the good work!

Progress or organized chaos I'm not sure, but the HUW is getting attention post sandblasting. Here's a few pics. The generator cabinet is welded in, the 'donor' rear upper back installed, the punched in roof removed ready for new steel and the fabricated body panels positioned ready to weld up. The interior bins, wireless table and brick-brack are ready to install once the skin is on.

Got the body skin back on. I'll probably work on the roof hatches next then go back to the fenders and running boards. Or maybe the reverse...

Default Very nice.

Strewth Bruce you do not muck around.

May I ask.. is the skin new steel? If so what gauge thickness is it?

If you were able to use the original, was there much work in repairing it?

It is going to be a very nice example.
