Great with a little Sthlm group here! Are you Swedes or American expats? /Tedd (Originally from Doylestown PA)

About time for an update.... Last I wrote, the body was in the shop to repair all the rust. Unfortunately the owner of the shop was pressed for money and was in collection by the Swedish Governments collection agency. He was blackmailing and screwing me! I felt something was screwy and started...

PM me if you do. I would love to meet you and check out your truck. Have always been toying with the idea of Portals on my Laplander and PTO driven trailer. Will have to see which is cheaper, a solution like yours or Portals from the Volvo TGBs.:)

Any chance you'll be swinging by Stockholm?

Exactly. The pump I linked to above is such a pump, even though they do not mention it. I talked to the boat shop people and they felt it would suit my needs well. And with it's capability I can hose off the truck with a decent amount of water pressure.

Counted today and I have a total of 14 U-joint total on the truck and trailer and will have TWO more byt the time I am done! :ylsmoke:

Forgot about this thread all together! I endend up using calipers from an Opel Corsa. They work really nice! http://soost.com/valpen/Fotovalpen_2.0/Progress/Entries/2011/3/9_Conversion_From_Drum_to_Disk_Brakes_2.html

The renovation is coming along and I will be headed to Denmark in the next two weeks to pic up a body that is in much better shape then my current one. Should be done and rolling by Christmas.

Any install pics yet?

There is a great forum here in Sweden if you are interested in more info about this truck or the others Volvo built. People here can even help you find one cheaper if you want to import back to the US. http://www.terrangbil.net
