This truck was used by the US army in Nuernberg, Germany.
And was sold in december 1988 to a Belgian army surplus.
It has been re-painted (the color shown on the pictures) by a previous owner.

We bought it in januari 2004.
It needs minor restauration, it has a little rust at the hood and doors.
Also a new drop of paint might be wishfull.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's under the hood?    A GREEN ENGINE??!!
It's not IH power, but the "old english" runs great.
