1 owner from new 8) 22,000 on the clock, never welded or painted, ex balfor beatty/railtrack 4 tonn tipper, re plated back down to 3.5.
New prop, lockset, brakes all round and mirrors, armoured ignition barrel but no ramps (stolen last year).
Did ford do a low ratio steering box? cos it is lite but jebus it takes loads of turns to get it round the bend :lol:
And yes it is that clean 8)

Unusual for a Mk3 to have no rust :lol: waxoiling it on monday :wink:
it is the early small chassis but it's so clean 8)

Did ford do a low ratio steering box? i know LDV did on the PO vans :?:
had a minibus rear axle fitted as well :D cruises at 80 with some left 8)
Not sure what it weighs empty but it's gotta be less than the 2500 me old one weighed, this has an alloy back the old one was steel and wood :shock:

Can't beleive how well it pulls for an old style Di even with the higher diff
