C8A chassis no. 3844516525

Hi ALL,

Thanks for the responses. Given me alot to think about.

I must admit that I didnt know about the C8AX. This seems to be basically the same chassis and cab front as my own truck. Are there any differences in the running gear or chassis that wouldnt at first be apparent to the casual observer? Wonder whether it would be possible to obtain detailed drawings to a rear body and general layout in comparison to the cab? - the C8AX also runs without out the conventional "behind the cab" tool box by the looks of. I would be quite happy in fabricating a rear body, but I would have to find the cab back and roof from somewhere?

I have seen photos of the Indian HUP before unfortunately this to me looks very much like a landrover 101. Not sure if this would float my boat, so to speak, but I am up for being convinced into it.

Has anyone got any detailed pictures of the 216 engine assembled? Not totally sure whether I have the Bedford conversion in my C8 and would love to find out.

Thanks

Jeremy.
