can anybody tell me what it can be, if it was a 0 or a 6 or .... (the picture of the tank are on this forum to see the original number.)
hope someone can shine a light on this.

What a great job you have done Jaap
My guess would be zero as there dosent appear to be a cross at the centre for a 6
The next number maybe either a 3 or an 8 though
Looks as though paint was scraped off at some stage

thanks andrew it is not easy to see what it is, so I hope someone can tell me with what no they started or in what group this no could fall, but thanks anyway.
I had some upholstery work to do with the 2 chairseats in the cab. I had one old springseat from dirk, but these were rusted away nearly. so I strat looking for a replacement springs. Ifound them ad a locale seatshop. they are a littlebit bigger in diameter but work well. I sandblasted the old frame and made a new one for the otherone. Then connected the springs to the frames by ironwire. painted the whole thing with primer and put a pillowcover over it so it is easier to put the kokosmat on top, so the springs not leave a mark in your bummm.
I had bought some nos seatcovers from dirk and it took some time to put them over the seats, but they look very nice and sit like a sofa.
Oh here are some pictures of the radio junctionboxes and the interior.
cheers jaap

Beautiful job, Jaap!

I agree that it does look like a '0' and a '3' and not an '8'. Excuse me if this has been posted before but is the contract number known please?

thanks jim for the complements.
David I don't know anything more than the number I have found on the petroltank, I would like to know more about this number. first of all is this number right ? (because I am not sure about the 2e zero) second can anyone give more info about the contract number that comes with this number or maybe any history.
cheers jaap

I have followed your thread from the start fantastic work and attention to detail well done, a unique truck that you must be justly proud off.

you can see some already in stefan's thread but here are some pictures of my truck at the "harskamp " weekend in the mid's of holland at a army shooting ground. for me it was a 100 ml drive (one way) so this was very exiting trip, would the truck make it and back, and it did (have some oil leaks but) and the best part was that satherday evening, after the fried rice dinner the KTR jury gave me the nicecest vehicle cup 2011. this made my day.
I made some pictures at the camp of my truck and later together with stefan's truck to. his truck is become very nice to, I think he will win next years cup with this truck.
cheers jaap
