And I stuffed the rubbing up and can't read it. Oh well another trip needed.

Picis follow of the trucks and rear bodies which are stacked against the shed. Note that two of the trucks have convoy lights and the rear solinoid for the diff light.

6 stud wheels and horizontal tow rings on the front bumper.

Yarning with the owner he casually mentioned he has around 3 1/2 ton of spares like new crown wheels diffs motors etc along with small parts like 6 original canvas door screens. Yes they are the originals he was always interested in the numbers printed on them.

We will dig them out next time for some more picis.
