Yup same truck... that is back when I first built it 12 years and 185,000 miles ago.

I originally had a rusty 51 hood on it that I replaced with a better 52 hood.

You have some neat vehicles there. That series 3 Landy would not be common in the US, they were quite familiar on the roads down here in NZ and you still see a few around. I see yours has UK plates on.

Outstanding what you''ve done with the family, must be that mid Western Pa atmosphire that I enjoyed for years in Meyersdale at the family farm. Good luck.

Thanks, it is actually a late series 2a... so a few diferneve from a series 3.

It is a great vehicle, my wife's favorite to drive. Has a rover diesel and fairy overdrive... so can actually get up to 63 mph. But takes a long time to get there and is loud being all aluminum. It gets 27 mpg so is out most efficient vehicle we have!!!

And thanks again for all the nice remarks... I try to introduce our kids to as much as we can... I also do my best to help out any other folks in the community if they have an interest in old cars..

I love seeing old cars on the road, so try to keep as many road worthy for myself as well as others.....

I am known around here as the tall guy who is always driving old cars...lol.
