Can anyone tell me how to reduce the size of the pictures to enable more than one picture to be posted? Not that I am hopeless with computers.... Honestly lol

Kevin, you can post a max of 5 pictures per post. If you picture is small enough it will post. making it smaller does not allow you to post more. You are missing something, I'm not sure what it is.

Kevin, are you using an iPad or iPhone? If so, then only one photo at a time can be attached as the software of those devices rename the photo to be uploaded to "image.jpg" (or another generic name). So every next picture you try to upload has the same name and overwrites the one uploaded earlier on.

Lots of words to say that Apple devices only allow you to upload one photo at a time

As Lynn pointed out, normally 5 photos can be attached to a single posting.

HTH,

Hi all, a bit of progress with the truck today as in we have removed the old girl from the barn and deposited her in another barn! The restoration can now begin, I will be posting images of progress on here hopefully of some interest to you and hopefully to find out missing information from those in the know as it were.
Hanno do you want to move this onto the restoration section?

Howard Wade of Rusty Bits is carrying out the restoration of the cab and running gear, and as can be seen good progress has been made, the chassis is now stripped and mounted in the frame ready for sand blasting and painting.
One concern we have is the possible low speed of the truck for today's traffic, the truck is fitted with the 2 speed rear axle, has anyone driven one of these trucks with this axle? As a potential option does anyone know if another Dodge model could provide an alternative rear axle with a higher ratio? whilst I do not expect to be travelling at 60mph, to be safe I would like to be able to achieve 40-45mph without making the truck suffer, I believe there is also a 5 speed gearbox fitted to some of these models, does anyone know if the top gear in the 5 speed is higher ratio than the top gear of a 4 speed box? I do not want to fit larger tyres than the 10.50x16 currently fitted as I would like the truck to look aesthetically correct. Any info or pointers would gratefully received!

I recently came across this picture on the Internet, it shows a different style of circular roof cupola, does anyone know if this is a correct fitment or should the 'circular type' have the step design as seen in other pictures.

A bit of an update on the truck, the engine has been pulled apart, it's a bit of a sorry state and will require a full rebuild including a crank regrind, it seems that basic maintenance was somewhat lacking when the truck was used!
The engine in this model of Dodge is longer than the one used in the WC Dodge and spare parts may prove difficult to find, does anyone have experience of sourcing parts for this engine? Or can anyone point me in the direction of someone or a company that is a specialist regarding these engines?
