MaxPower Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 can put what ever motor you want in it for the period as they came with all sorts, this one is a lowly colonial cab, will prob put a flathead v8 in it for re-vinning has no motor or box.

SOHC Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 If the stickers on the window have the same rego as those old black number plates is good enough to prove it was reged in nz before according to NZTA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 If the stickers on the window have the same rego as those old black number plates is good enough to prove it was reged in nz before according to NZTA. true? had a look at the stickers and there doesn't seem to be any plate number on the rego sticker, does mean that it has been on nz roads at some point hope its not going to be a major.

Threeonthetree Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Quote from locost_bryan which I have moved to the discussion thread (was in the build thread): Is it one of these? Interesting article here http://auto.howstuff...-dump-truck.htm, claims they came with a four-cylinder Waukesha engine. More than likely someone will have replaced it with something more "user friendly" over the ensuing decades... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOHC Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Flatheads have different gearbox mountings, all the 37 to 47 use the same front engine mounts off the water pumps in 48 they went to the 8BA style motor witch is different agearn 32 to 36 motors have funny lower radiator hose inlet/ engine mounts but I think they are is the same position as the 37 to 47 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaxPower Posted July 25, 2016 Author Share Posted July 25, 2016 rad. i say keep the wack-ass tiny windscreen, the odder the better i kinda thought it was ugly, but it would save a heap of work. has a wicked blind spot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
