Very interesting truck, naturally never saw them here in the U.S. but it reminds me a bit of the mid-sized Isuzu/Chevy's we do have in great numbers. I didn't know the TK offered larger diesels like yours is equipped with, I thought they all had 4 cylinder diesels or gasoline engines. Looks like a soundly engineered vehicle. Also appears it was driven quite some distance with that broken head bolt, that says something about how robust it is! You are doing a fine job, best of luck and looking forward to seeing your progress.
Thankyou so much ! She’s a really cool old truck actually same age as me! Not much happening at the moment, recovering from shoulder rebuild , but soon to be back into it .
Video is so deceptive. 9 minute video for what was likely 4 hours work. Rusted nuts and bolts are always a time vortex, but always satisfying to be behind you.
i like the view of the landscape. Very nice. The truck, you restore like the way i would, Succes.
Haha thanks , yes a magic place to live.
That chassis looks pretty solid , you’ve got a great truck
There’s a wee bit of heave ,but I think it’s savable.
Good job james on the tk HLC bedford cant wait to its finished mark from oz.

Haha yes! That’s very much how it goes …. Around 5 hours real time compressed to 9mins! And most bolts will need replaced .
