Hi Andy
These old Chevy engines always amaze me, they just want to run. Cheers Phil

Hanno
Hi Hanno, yes that is my initial plan, sort out the mechanical and electrical side, get all the running gear up to standard and then decide.
I am awaiting a reply back from the recovery and towing museum in Chattanooga Tennesee, they are doing a bit of research on the twin boom holmes crane on the back, this will help find out when the conversion was done. The quality of the conversion is outstanding, the front wings are made of a single sheet, no joints, no welds and no filler, the coachbuilding on the rear is also to a very high standard, thinking to the costs involved in all the body work and sourcing the crane from America, seems highly expensive, surely there must have been cheaper options, buy a C30 or C60 wrecker, I am sure that size was the main issue, still... I have been following your finds with great interest, they are appreciated, gives a good coverage, thank you. Had a little drive in it today, just to turn around, lovely. Will be the last for a while, brakes are coming apart, need to get in there and sort out, I know these won't respond as well as the engine did. Is resleeving of the master cylinder the only option, it is beyond honing, (however did hone out just to test the rest of the system, and got a good pedal, just not much braking), are master cylinders available? Regards Andy

Kind words.
Hi Phil, I hope so.
The TLC is just starting, I want to be driving on the road this summer, 2014 would be good to go on the Normandy run, however the bright orange may not be welcome. All though a petal in a sea of green... Regards Andy

Mr. Gosling
A message for James, who found the C15A, took me to see it and then used his truck to recover from Belgium, who was the second buyer if I hesitated, and still is.
Thank you Not many people are generous with there time and seek no reward, you are a gentleman in the true meaning of the word. See you Monday.
