Work in Progress. In true blog fashion, start from the bottom up to see the fast progress on this rare JB tipper truck. E-mail Robert on bobskibikes@hotmail.co.uk

Thursday 5 August 2010

Purchased by Bob, back at the workshop being and inspected.

Flying the flag for Britain?
View of the winding mechanism.
Squashed rear member.
The doors look to be fair, at least a good pattern to make new.
Very bad corrosion on the top of the "A" post.
Cab floor?
Inner wings needed.
The "B" series lump, the radiator was missing when purchased, note how they cut the rubber pipes to rip it out.
Rear cross member is very bad on this one, a common problem but with the extra forces due to the tipping gear mounting this member is in a bad way.
The rear end, tipping pivots and cross member have suffered from 20 years of neglect.
Chassis looks pretty good.
Close up of the tipper screw.
Dash board showing air vents! A de-lux J type.
The good old "B" series lump of power?
Needs inner wings for sure.
Tipping gear still in place.
The tipper stripped down to be inspected.
