Nice original 109 truck cab!
Front end looks to be riding a bit low in the water. What engine option ya got with that?

Rear end is higher than the front. maybe due to parabolic springs at the back, tired original at the front.
Original 2.25 petrol engine.Nice original 109 truck cab!
Seems normal to me if anything it's too high at the back but it's got new parabolic springs and shocks all round

Yep. Sorry, I meant the front end is lower!
Could be the angle of the pic. I prefer the 2.25 petrol to the diesel meself.

Just realised it was a boating reference.....
Not really. Fairly common expression. Maybe not a popular one among those dwelling on small islands!

I was focusing on the image a bit too much, and was confused about your comment about the front being a bit low in the water, but there was no water in the photoNot really. Fairly common expression. Maybe not a popular one among those dwelling on small islands!

Its probably just the springs not settled yet, and no load in the back.
It is Friday, and past my bedtime to boot!

Landies love being used!
Have you been restoring it, or has it just been in the garage? And is that a galv chassis?

Sounds good. If the chassis and bulkhead are ok, rolling resto is usually the way to go.

Is it pressurising the crankcase?
