Well my Humber is a std cargo but with some mods to make it a FFW.
Some of the Mods are:- *Small box on the outside rear of the cab on the blanked off window to take harness cable. *Shielded access point near the box to alow harness cable into cab. *Mounting holes on the drivers side of the passenger seat for a Control unit type 'C' or 'D'. *Pre-drilled holes in both sides of the rear body, front and rear for antenna mounts. *Power junction box at the front left inside corner of the head board. Thats about it as the truck still retained the std single speed generator and also winch. Though I have seen 1 with these mods without winch and by it's colours I am guessing it was a ex Woomera truck. Radios were run off battery packs and not the trucks batteries and they were recharged by a 12v 300watt Chore-horse gen set. My truck had rust in all the usual places...roof and sills but overall was in a good condition. Still has its original engine. Best MPG recorded was 9mpg. It's been fitted out with a C11~R210 and C42 set. Back in 1999 I aquired a few ton of NOS and seconhand parts, as well as the remains of another truck. ended up with enough parts to just about build a truck with all new running gear bar the clutch and engine. Also NOS mud guards, fuel tanks, glass, seals etc etc. So currently the "Beast" is off the road as I think one of the CV joints is just about to throw the towel in... so thats parts are going to come in handy now. When I get motivated to take it on again. More to follow... Phil... ![]()
