According to the typical RAF description that: Fire Fighting Truck Airfield 10 Ton 6 x 6 Foam Thornycroft, Nubian Major Mk 9 Has a Cummins V8, 14790cc, 8 cylinder, liquid cooled, diesel, developing 214.76kw (288bhp) at 2800rev/min. The only and obvious cab that should go on the yard 4 x 4 should be the one off a Forward Control Land Rover 101FC. If you can find one .....
Landrover for sure! Love what you guys do. Interests me a lot! In scotland so don’t get to see much older stuff Nevermind working. Love the older tank’s would love you work on them like you guys get to sure it’s heaps of fun!
Has to be a Land Rover, no doubt about that. Never thought that there was soooo much kit in the yard. Fix the Conqueror? Thorneycroft Nubian Major. Wow. Cummins 903 vta I thought, I put on into a fire engine in Belize, the RAF couldn’t manage it, good old REME😉
Good thought as I was watching this and don’t call me thick!! Back of Fire Engine pump and tank out make a cool man cave on wheels and camper for travel better than any travel lodge. 👍
Land Rover cab would be better than a boring old Transit.. Or even better, how about the front half of that old Range Rover that was behind the truck bed.
There’s a daf 45 LF in Norfolk on the bay of E. £800, Big back box and 6bt. That would give you a cab for big rear deck on that Renault. Plus decent spare engine and a shed. :o)
I’d like to see the yard truck with a transit cab as it would be about as close as possible to what the original County transits could have become 🛠️👍🏼
Transit on steroids would look great, the fire engine project looks interesting, in fact both these projects would generate a huge amount of channel traffic which would help your channel grow. Years ago I briefly met a fella building a steam engine into a flat bed truck, he told me he was mounting a small caravan on the back hidden with a fake facade of period shipping wooden crates, I never saw the end result but the idea was interesting, all the mod cons of a caravan without looking like Terry and June on their hols to Bournemouth.
Hi Matt and Joe have you ever thought put LPG , gas conversions on the petrol engine vehicles , LPG ia about 95p per litre Regards Steve Ball, Cheshire
Thanks for a very interesting video Matt. I would think a Land Rover cab would be more appropriate but which would survive better with all the use and mis-use it might receive? Now I must search for the videos you have done recently, before I subscribed.
If you're going to convert that fire engine, leave the pump on if you can, that way it's legally still a fire appliance and a surprising amount of HGV legislation can simply be ignored!
@@fittermat I suppose it pre-dates tacho and speed-limiter regs you'd not gain much anyway. although you've got to admit, a built-in pressure-washer would be quite advantageous after a day of playing in the mud!
