The shocks have de carbon on them, any idea on the springs, they need a clean up and paint. Is the axle standard with the discs also noted its fitted with a wading kit on the axles etc so looking good so far, plus lots of poly bushes.

If they're De carbon shocks they'll most likely be Britpart springs, by all accounts springs are one thing Britpart sell that are OK.

Are they yellow or orange? Look yellow to me!

I was told the truck was built by Scorpion racing and it has a few of their stickers on which seems to back that up, so your probably right about the springs. Its an 89 on a G plate

Not a clue how long they have been on there but absolutely no sign of perishing, better get my winch working then.

Been doing some odds and sods today, bloody roasting. Had a look at the winch and found this

Switched it on and winch working fine, result.
