I have just brought a series 2a truck cab 1967 (you might have seen it on ebay last week) I've been having a good look over it today and even though it's been stood two years the engine ran, no break or clutch though so new slave cylinders I think. I have decided to do a proper job and strip the top off to replace the rear chassis and am now pondering how far to go. Below is what I planned to do so any comments on what I've missed would be valued and will help my budget planning!
New half chassis, outriggers and a few other bits around the footwells and inside wings.
New shockers all round (leaf springs look good so was going to keep them, unless rust rights them off?)
It's a petrol engine so new distributor cap, plugs, leads, filters etc
the fuel tank looks very rusted so a though a new one might be worth doing whilst the backs off?
Would you good people recommend replacing oil in diffs boxes etc?
I'm a novice with old landrovers but have a barn to use and a friend whose a good welder so hope it should all be prity straight forward!!!!!!
Any advice would be most welcome of bits I've missed and or the things I am thinking of doing.
