Looks good
Looks like you've got lots to work with there - I've tried to winkle a C8 hulk from a place near me, but last time I looked, the guy still had it.

The chassis of my C8 is definataly the thing that worries me the most. Nick you have already seen these, but for the MLU-ers I attached some pictures of the "modifications" made to the chassis by one of the former owners in Canada. There is a chunk from the left and right chassis rail and a chunk from the gearbox crossmember, certainly not something I can fix myself. Derek, yes.....let's just say I am familiar with rust  Andrew. Before Nick saved me with the spare chassis, I looked on ebay and did find some replacement crossmembers on Ebay USA. Maybe that's something for you to consider. I think I have saved the seller's name, so I'll let you know. David. I am not sure about the strap. In about a month I will have the C8 at home and will take more detail shots. Alex

Alex, judging by the pictures it's a good thing you have access to that other frame. The crossmembers under the radiator and transmission are the same as on the civvy trucks from half ton to three ton but the ones from there back are unique to the C8 4x2.

The second picture shows a civilian half ton frame on the left and a C8 frame on the right. The first picture is the C8 frame after painting. The front three x-membrs are the same on the civvy units but from there back they're unique to the 8 cwt 4x2s.
