I said I would post some photos of my Acco 18 months ago, well you can't rush these things. So here is some as I dig them up.

Ok, some info on the truck.
Info found by Phoenix, (Thanks),
Army Rego; 174-497,
Original chassis No; 2485
New chassis No; ADE 6X6 1702
Engine No; 6.283.09452
Year model; 1968.

I saved it from the wreckers about 4 yeas ago.
The wheel base is now 16' 8" (from center of front wheel to middle of rear boggy) about 4' 6" extension.
The tray is 26' 3" long with container pins welded in.
The winch is still there but can only used from the rear because of missing parts and the rear chassis being extended.
A second air tank has been fitted on the left out side chassis rail.
All the tipper gear has been removed.

When I first got the truck everything worked, but because of illness it sat for nearly 3 years.
I can start it but dose not run well, the winch is stuck, and the brakes need full replacement, the cab is RS and was when I got it.

Plans for the truck is a full rebuild with a diesel motor and a rebuild cab with some mods. A removable camper will be going on the back as well.
