Thread: The Ultimate FC

Wagoo if you know anything of the history of my stalwart please tell me.
What I do know it came from another dealer in the UK who purchased it from some else(a private owner)
It was fitted with a new fuel pump , new carby body and front brake hoses before it left the UK.
The UK rego I am told suggests the Brighton area ?
There is no clues to its service history so far.
my earlier posts on hours and time is incorrect .
The vehicle has just clocked over 300 miles which I now think is correct, but the hour meter is showing 1721 hrs which indicates alot of off road work or swimming for that mileage/hrs..........but most stalwarts were rarely swum in service.

Ron

Are you goung to be around on Sunday?

I was thinking of coming over and taking a look. Can also bring the Clansman intercom boxes down if you'd like.

It is interesting to note how different vehicles look and act off road.
The stalwart due to its independant suspension appears to lift wheels every now and then off road.............but that suspension is long travel and the size of the vehicle and tyres makes things look different.

My studebaker flexing its guts out and the back axles are twisted on the stops.





In this the Stalwart is driving the same spot and the same angle and only just slightly lifts one rear wheel.

At this stage I will be at the farm, but will be around Saterday morning.
I will post pics of a clansman fitted in the stalwart in brisbane later tonight.
If I can find a jerry can of fuel at work I could take you for a run.(its a good climb to get in the cabin)
Not that much to look at currently as the vehicle has been stripped a fair bit and only enough is on it to drive it around.
The intercom boxes I could pick up from your folks place ????

That must be your favourite hillock Ron, I remember you taking me over it in the 101, seems much bigger IRL.

Or at least the Stolly makes it look like nothing.

If you'd like, theyre not doing anything at my place and I have nothing I want to fit them into, so you may as well have them for the Stolly. I'll see what headsets and harness cables I can spare.

Are any of the harness cables remaining in the truck?

BTW I won't be down till mid day Sunday, dads being discharged and coming home after 7 months in hospital.

You could always bring the stolly out to Worrigee and wade through our billabong or climb through our creek!

Ron, about all I know is that Richard Watton from Dorset UK worked on your Stolly to get the engine running enough to drive it to the Docks for shipping. Richard owns a Stolly, a 101 and a Leyland Martian 6x6. I have lost his contact details but it may be possible to find him through say the 6 stud 101 club or other Military vehicle websites.I think he is fairly well known in ex Mil vehicle circles over there.I recall seeing a photo of him with his Stolly on one of the military vehicle sites a few years back. I last met him a few years ago when he flew over to buy the Camel Man from Alice Springs 101 and powered trailer and shipped it back to the UK.He was travelling with Nick Kaye, another well known collector over there, who I think actually bought the 101. So hopefully, armed with that information and a bit of internet detective work you might just be able to trace the history of your vehicle.
Bill.

Sorry to find out your dad has been crook.
I will take the Stalwart one day to your folks place to pick up the intercom gear !
Does that sound OK ?
All i have in the cabin is wiring and plug for a exturnal speaker connection for the out side of the truck.
On the LHS of the cabin there is a small electrical/power supply box for the radio and I havent at this stage looked at what sort of connection it has.
these 2 pics are of the brisbane stalwart with a clansman radio, I think it was a 135????? and it had aleast 2 head sets.
Picture quality is poor because I didnt have access to the cabin.
