(This is the part where I expect to get proven wrong & realize I paid too much for my truck)

Post by: Houston87 on February 18, 2017, 09:04:51 pm: I have a bit off movement to allow for the vat. I completly understand that at my budget im not going to get a minter! As long as the bar mechnicals are in good enough knick id be happy enough. I can get a 1300l for 5 but its ex army so non off the extras im after.

Post by: Villager on February 20, 2017, 07:06:23 pm: I know Casto has one for sale, ex snow blower with very low hours, got rear linkage and 540/1000 speed pto. pretty sure he also has a front din plate, spider frame, and maybe a tipping body set aside for it. Just a bit rusty really, and it has the schliesing roof but they can look smart when done up properly.

Post by: Houston87 on February 26, 2017, 06:37:26 pm: Just seen it myself! Emailed the seller looks like it would do me grand! I suspect theyd be more civilised than a 406 for day to day!
Cheers buddy!
