I could never get second gear on any I drove in the army without a clonk.

The one my brother took to SA and back was the over head/side valve engine type and I made up a system of fuel lines, pumps and valves to take fuel from the two tanks we fitted and he could pump fuel from either tank via either pump and from one tank to the other if one sprung a leak. The front steering ball joint were really bad when he returned and I can remember driving it with about three quarters of a turn play on the steering wheel. They had originally painted it red but was advised to change it in case they came up against any Commie hating tribes.
