Hello Alex

Yes she has really cleaned up a treat. The truck seems so far to be in pretty good order. I do need a parts manual, so if anybody out there has a parts book with the parts numbers i would like to buy one. I need to give Dirk an order but he needs the parts numbers.

Thanks Howard

Well more work has been carried out on the C60s. Ive broken down the front axles, and now need the oil seals that fir in the axle. Ive also broken down the transfer box and need the oil seals for that. I also need the oil seal for the gear box. I have also started cutting out the rotten metal from the floor of the body, the main middle section of sheet metal will be staying as its not to bad. Apart from Dirk does any body know of another supplier of the oil seals please. Are post some more pics soon. Howard

Well I have finally got the seals sorted and they are on order. Ive also managed to get more parts blasted and painted. Ive also gone through the engine and fitted new seals and gaskets. Ive also got that painted in my Engine grey. Hoping to get the gear box sorted this week, i can then think about getting the engine and gear box fitted back into the chassis. Will update as the rebuild goes.
