That sounds really good! I like it...

Do you have the hood emblems that go to it? and the hood MH emblems?

Let me know if you need to compare info with me since mine is pretty much the same truck as yours just a shorter wheelbase.

I like your view, looks very beautiful.

 

Gratulerer med en riktig bra gamle lastebil! Did I say that right? My wife is originally from Norway so I try it once in a while. For the rest of you, I was trying to congratulate him on his new/old score...

 

:-) one step further.. got the gears free today, so tomorrow i think it will move by itself:-)

the shift mechanism was rusted, but after cleaning, heating and some muscle help it came loose.

still raining here, where is summer????

 

we got sunshine today so you should get it soon...and 16c getting warmer..glad you got it shifting....so what is the big red lite on the dash for??..great to see you are getting ahead!!!

 

just wondering what wheels are on this truck? they look great,are they 6 on 7.25 bolt pattern?

 

Those are 6 x 8.75". They are 22.5s, and IIRC, Marc has told us on an old thread those are the truck's original wheels. Tubeless truck wheels and tires first became available in 1956. Many buyers of new trucks back then didn't trust buying these new, untested, wheel/tire combos and instead opted for the tried and true tube types. Also, as I've read, the early tubeless tires were prone to air leaks which fed that attitude. Today, tubeless tire technology has made them the industry standard. Stu

 

Like Stu said, 6 x 8.75 22.5's.
