I must admit Keith, there is a different colour dust on my truck

and could someone tell me where to find the hull number.

If you look at the angle steel piece just over the diff the manufacturer and serial should be stamped in there. You may need a wire brush.

I might add that it has a nice warm, dry and happy shed to live while waiting for the appointment at the skin clinic.

It's a nice looking find - is there much skin to replace?

As for the dust - I'm hoping it might be from Western Australia or New South Wales. Doesn't look like Victorian dust does it?

Sorry Keith, I meant the hull number of the dukw not the carrier. Thats one number I do know where to look for. I will get the number for you in the daylight . And the dukw is a crispy skin dukw at the moment. It will need a total reskin. Infact all 4 skins need removing

Yes, of course. If there's an ARN under the paint you can find the serial numbers with a visit to AWM 126.
