1958 Series 2 worth saving ?

Lordmacclesfield - your earliest one is only 4 chassis numbers away from my "Gus"

Gus is 143800259.

As above, he originally had a 2L.

Very interesting my Series 2 is 143800485. Its amazing to think these CKD units would have been rolling off the assembly line at the same time. Tell me do you Series 2's have the Series 1 gearbox mounts? And do they have the horn under the left front guard in a really hard to reach place? Do you have the badge on the firewall which says it was built by the coach builders in Sydney?

Tell me do you Series 2's have the Series 1 gearbox mounts? haven't looked - been too busy trying to get the firewall off!

And do they have the horn under the left front guard in a really hard to reach place? Yep.

Do you have the badge on the firewall which says it was built by the coach builders in Sydney?Yes, but most landies in the country do.

We should have a "Show us ya... Early Series II 2L" thread...

LORD MACCLESFIELD, would you happen to be from the adelaide hills??
(using the name as my "clue")

if so are your vehicles near the bull creek area?
If so I may have seen them some time ago....

My old 58 with a 2ltr engine lives on Straddie and if I could buy it back I would and I would fix what I did to it when I was young and stupid.

I would think 1962, but that is just a guess - it is only the 2377th CKD RHD 88 2a produced, and I think the b suffix came in about '63.

initial info points to somewhere between Oct 1961 & Mar 1963.

Does anyone else have the time to take on a '58 Series 2 complete with it's original 2 litre motor ?

I now have one too many projects and I'm considering whether I keep the S2 or let it go.

You should keep it.

Its a rareish truck and besides, you're tempting me and I only just sold a Landy to make room.
