I've posted before with regards to the bumper markings and there are several 101AB on both front and rear bumpers. They were also several layers thick so 101 AB goes back a very long way in my opinion. I will repaint it as a 101 AB vehicleas these are the last markings I've found before the base coat.
I'll post more as I progress, Hoping to have it on the road by late September this year.
Whilst I'm on the subject I must thank all my friends for being patient with me and to thank them for all the time and effort they have put in to get the truck in the condition it is now,without their help she would still be about 12 months from completion.
Thanks to Brian ,Pete, Rob, Joe,Tony and the best person in the world the Mrs putting up with the constant flow of traffic through our home

Way to go Chappers!
You are going to have to email me the picture of you guys driving the chassis around with a box as a seat
Going to be a museum piece when you have finished.
Best wishes.

Thanks to everyone who has given me advice so far, without this forum I'd still be looking for answers. More pictures to follow shortly.

The latest, I've got to get some better stencils sorted as I only put these unit identification on for a show I went too.
All I need now is new tyres and canvas and she's finished.
Maybe the No 7 set in the rear!!!!!!
