Popular Post Jonas Posted July 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted July 25, 2013 I made a trip out to Montana to visit a old friend and stopped by to look at that EHU. My first impression is that it is so far gone as to be unrestorable. Yard art, maybe a parts truck if it werent so rare.But after driving home and thinking on it for a few days I thought it may be a interesting start to a vintage motorhome conversion. If you could mount the cab on a later model 1 ton truck chassis and convert the 8 lug to 10 lug buds then find a van body for the back..... I dont know, theres not a single piece of sheetmetal on it that dont need attention. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32049-went-and-looked-at-that-ehu-that-was-on-ebay-recently/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 You made a good job.Too interesting to see it more close.What about the engine and tranny?Are they original?I haven't waited anything better than you tell about and it looks not bad in relation to what I'm working over. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32049-went-and-looked-at-that-ehu-that-was-on-ebay-recently/#findComment-195851 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cncFireman Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Is he firm on the price? It is pretty rough an e cabover is on my list but I rather wait for the possibility of one in better shape Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32049-went-and-looked-at-that-ehu-that-was-on-ebay-recently/#findComment-195852 Share on other sites More sharing options...
j hancock Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just keeping it from going through a crusher would be good.Jim Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

mike69mackman Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 With a good metal man I think that truck has lots of possibilities to be an original restoration , gonna take a lot of time and money but would look nice restored.

Vladislav Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I also think it's not a great trouble to get original EH rear axle with hubs and wheels and front bumper.There are many firetrucks wich have the same parts when they're parted out.So here's more a sheet metal work. There's a lot of but it's common and usual.Although personally to me too important point is original chassis number.It makes histirical basis to the subject.Having it not means you work on just an old piece of unidentified metal.Just my point of view for shure Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/32049-went-and-looked-at-that-ehu-that-was-on-ebay-recently/#findComment-196009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
