Owner told me he had this truck for 12 years, but never got round to restoring it. Is an ex-timber yard truck. Rear body, seats, doors, hoops and vacuum fuel pump are missing. Last 12" of the chassis rear had been cut off, but rewelded under the chassis.

Some more info and picture from Simon:

the guy said it was almost complete which is just not true. Not only would it need complete restauration, but most of it was missing! No rear GS body, or fittings, no cab canvas, no cab canopy tubs, no cab( doors sides, floor!!!!, no seats, the fuel tanks were rooten through, the dashboard was rotten, no small items like original jack etc. Every cowl panel was corroded along the edges and damaged. The chassis had holes in it!!!!!. The rear of the chassis had been cut off to shorten it and then welded on under the the rear rails ( I suppose at least it was still there!). Tyres were scrap. Only really nice items were the brass instruments and the two brass fuel tank caps.
