What is it with Poms, body filla and WW2 vehicles loking like theyre show cars worthy of the Royal seal? 😊😅😂 I swear every WW2 vehicle ive seen thats been restored or being restored in the UK is full of body filler and shiny paint.

@jalopyfreaks 2 ай бұрын

I've had this conversation with several people. So many want these perfectly straight vehicles that look way more finished than they ever would have done during war production. As for the shiny paint, so many people here seem to love the Chromadex paint for military vehicles. I know they offer a huge range of military colors but I personally am not a fan because it always spays up shiny. It does eventually dull down but takes a while.

The torque reaction spring was installed to stop the Jeeps from steering across the road into oncoming traffic when the brakes are applied at full strength. What happens is that the axle actually rolls, pulling the steering king pin and drag link which then pulls the steering and causes the Jeep to actually change direction... on left hand roads it shoots the Jeep across the centreline into oncoming traffic. It was supposed to be a safety feature in the US as the aide of the road is on the right side, in Australia and the UK it's on the left side of the road. Only Britosh and Australian Jeeps had it fitted from mid 1943 oneards.

Ocean video, thanks for uploading it. I just want to say, you don't need to spare the sheetmetal with epoxy primer, red oxide was applied directly to the bare metal back in WW2. Secondly...you don't need to wet sand the primer and first coat, these are military vehicles...not show vehicles. They look weird with perfectly straight panels and showroom satin finish paint jobs.

@jalopyfreaks 2 ай бұрын

Unfortunately, when I'm doing projects for other people I am bound by what they want. I have tried in the past to convince owners that military vehicles were never finished to the enth' degree but given that most of these are restored for shows, they want that 'show quality' lol. As for the paint finish, everyone I've met wants to use a paint called 'Cromadex'. They do produce a vast array of military colors but as you can see in the videos, I'm not a fan. It does however eventually flatten down but takes a few months to do so.

Hi Colin, yes there are a number of none Ford components in the build. This is down to availability and budget, the owner who is just 21 doesn't have the budget just yet to make this 100% authentic, so for now we've used what parts he had. Or to be more precise, it was his grandfather that began this gathering parts to build this for him, sadly due to ill health, he was was never able to move on with it so I took it on as a favour to help out a friend.

Unfortunately, as much as I want to keep it, it's not an option. I need to fund the VW which in turn is going to fund another much larger project. And if that works out, it will allow me a little more freedom to build something for myself.

I would guess the rims are not load rated for van use either? Its a good opportunity to sell the wheels and tyres and replace them with steel wheels and 70 profile rubber. Low profile tyres, and Chinese alloy wheels, will mean a frequent need to get cracked wheels repaired, and in most cases new tyre at the same time.

@jalopyfreaks 10 ай бұрын

Hi, the rims are load rated for this van, I checked that back before fitting them, though they are not Chinese, they were made in Italy. I am moving to a 16 inch rim, similar spec, with a 65 series tyre. Got a video on them in a week or so.

To be honest I wasn't going to, I originally just plumbed the waste water pipe to exit under the van. However, back in January I was chatting with a couple who'd been fined the previous summer while in North Yorkshire, somewhere near Sutton Bank if I recall. So I already have the tank, I'd bought it for another project which didn't happen, so figured I'd play it safe.

Some years ago. Our family had a '46 GMC 6x6 duce and a half converted into a farm truck. Later mounted a snow plow rig on the front. Not fast at all perhaps 45-50 tops downhill. But it would do the work, go most anywhrere with no complaints and reliable, too. Sold it in 90's. Hope it's still out there going.

@jalopyfreaks 10 ай бұрын

That is very cool, as a kid here in the UK I grew up in a farming community it was the same here, a lot of these ere converted into farm trucks. They were very cheap to buy from army surplus and reliable. One of the farms I worked at as a kid still had one up until about 10 years ago and it was still a working farm vehicle. Though that one i do know went for restoration.
