I have owned the truck since February 2000. All I have done to it are a few general maintenace things. It's going to stay this way unitl I have finished my current project, a 1954 Cowley. I will then tear it down & make the changes I have in mind. Watch this space! But don't hold your breath. This truck used to have a 454ci Olds Tornado engine in the back of the bed, but the previous owner (Tommy Jarratt) had major problems with it twisting the chassis, cooling problems, & probably running problems with regards to the price of fuel. So he then opted for the Rover V8 engine it has now. This is fed by a Boxer inlet manifold feeding 4 SU carbs. Borg Warner 65 Auto trans. Jag rear axle, Jag front independant suspension. Tommy brought the truck in from South Africa (hence the right hand drive format) in quite a state. He had Tim Hammond & Wisbech Engineering do all the work on it. |
