Chevrolet C8A HUW reference thread

Can you post a pic you took of Dirk in uniform in front of his carrier and my HUW at the WPG. airshow several years ago? It was a great shot I thought. I think the RAF reenactors are in the backround of the shot. How is the HUP staff restoration coming along? Rob

Here it is. Progress is HUP is being made, but sloooooowly. Decided to concentrate on functionality, so at the rate I am going, might have it running come spring. Still rounding up bits and pieces such as windshield fittings, shock links, and so on (still need that bowtie badge). You Cab 11 looks like a great find - you should try to winkle that one out of the campground guy at Sydney - I tried a year or so back, but haven't been back since.

Attached you will find some pictures of the HUW that can often be seen on shows in the Northwest of Holland. I understand the truck was once restored by the father of the current owner, before he passed away. You will see that rust has since claimed a piece of the truck.

@Mike, I send you some more pictures of this truck by email.

Alex

p.s. Rob, your truck looks brilliant!

last part for now

Well, one more...

By the way, does anyone have one of tose Chorse horse filter assemblies and one exhaust tube lying around? My Chore Horse came without them.

Some great detail shots here - nothing I have would add to what Rob and Alex have posted. I am also going to have to make up a map table at some future date.

The pics showing the battery hold down posts with wing nuts under the wireless table is interesting. Can anyone come up with dimensions for these so I can make up a set for my HUW? All I have left on the floor is four tabs welded to the floor.

Here is a picture of the same HUW "CZ 4210417" set up as a radio post at Longues sur Mer, Normandy, June 2004. It is owned by Ron Bechtholt.
