It's a 1967 Series 2b
Chassis number 20, originally fitted with a (long since departed) 2.6 6 cylinder.

No real history that I know of, I think it was just a normal civvy vehicle.   Long term plans are to put a camper body on the back of it...   short term plans are to get it running and on the road to be able to attend the heritage run at Gaydon  :lol:


We'll see :-)

I've been the same for ages...  didn't want a 101, not really a big fan, so when this one came up, I went for it.   Drove all the way to Durham to collect it too !!   :shock:

Your a lucky man, Tim lad.  :mrgreen:  I've long had yen for a FC myself.  There's one not far from here, with a cherry picker on the back.  Keep resisting the temptation to enquire about it, cos' if I did :?   Well, where would I put it and what would T'Other Arf say.  :? :roll:

Well... that's most of the chassis work done !

Need to get the rear spring mounts fabricated and I'll be able to put the axles back on.

We're getting there !

Only a bit of progress this weekend..   I got to Sunday evening and wondered where all the time had gone !

Engine is going to be a tight squeeze in there, but I think all will be OK.

Back on it's axles and Engine mounts in place...  should all be painted up next weekend, and hopefully I'll start getting bodywork back on

Hi, nice job on the welding there, been throught it myself its a lot of work, but well worth it they are a great truck when finised.

I also went for a 2B that ive had on the road for a year now and the project is still ongoing ....... see my gallery. I have a few bits for them and plenty of info that may be of help.

 Good luck with your project it will be nice to see another series forward control on the road.

I think Tim you have shown us all what is possible, forget replaement chassies for £800 just repair what you have, sheet metal isn't expensive and a replacement woiuld have been as much work and no where near as much fun.

Good one.

Probably 12-15 hours, depending on what else I have to do at the weekend !

It's on its axles now and the bulkhead is properly in place.   Engine and gearbox are next so the project should start to skip along for a bit... until I come to the electrical work, and then it will all slow down again  :roll:

your project seems to be flying along, where as mine is limping (but nearly there). i spent a three weeks welding my chassis and it wasnt have as knackered as yours.
