Slats look good - are you doing the same with the seats? Always good to get some air around beds - can never understand why so many campervans have solid bases for beds, as well as using table tops!

That's mad it's been sat there for 2 years. I guess at least it has been somewhat "saved" and hopefully someone will put it back as a camper. Might forward this on the NL Commer Club de Nederland who love running these...

That's great, was planning to get some black and silver plates anyway - look so much better!

Sorry no - hope you can find one.

As far as I know there are no holes in it, but it's been standing so long, I'm wary of just using it again without doing anything - thanks for the suggestions.

Engine now sorted - managed to drive the few miles back to warehouse... first time I've driven in on the road in around 10/11 years. It's in a terrible state though, body needs ripping apart. One question for people on here - what would you recommend to do with the fuel tank? It's currently...

Finally getting things moving for my Walk Thru (before it completely dissolves...). Here it is on the way to Tom Day Diesel Fuel Injection Services in Keynsham - from this angle you can't see the panoramic "sun roof" design (now covered with a tarpaulin).

Walk Thru finally on the move! Off to a local engine specialist to get the Perkins firing again. Think I better start a new thread.

Thanks Chris - it's booked in to get the engine sorted a week Monday. Will then be going to a custom bodyshop over in Wrington to get quotes for sorting - idea is to start work next April and get it ready to start doing deliveries again, alongside the works' Iveco.

Yes, you can have them - are you base in NZ?

Hello Keith - just to let you know I've sent you an email, in case it goes to Spam/Junk - cheers

I thought I'd seen your van before: https://www.travellerhomes.co.uk/?gallery=51 I'll pop you an email - will be interesting to see what you're having done, as I need similar done to mine, as soon as in get it moved - currently down a back lane in Bristol. Whereabouts are you?

That's probably in better nick than mine in places! Love the sign writing. Probably easiest if you give me a shout for stuff as you need it. I bought a load of odd spares years ago - quite a bit of stuff for the petrol engine ones, is yours petrol? I've got some Commer letters you can have for...

If I can find my receipt, I'll let you know, if it's a '75 then probably very similar or the same as mine and they'll be Chrysler parts.

Hello Batesy - I've got quite a few of the actual pins, but when I had this done, I bought a kit, like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QP641TC-COMMER-DODGE-BRITISH-1-1-2-3-Ton-WALK-THROUGH-KING-PIN-SET/283961579516?hash=item421d6dd7fc:g:KUsAAOSwBHlfIBTr

Hello Keith - what sort of things are you after? What year is the van? Cheers, Simon

Just looking thro this - that chassis plate you've got a picture of is all they put on these, as far as I know - certainly all I've got on mine.

Just saw this - the chassis plate is just a riveted piece of sheet metal, by the passenger foot well, I think (have taken mine off) - that's it as far as identification. How's it going? I've finally got plans to get mine back on the road, having sold it to the business, I intend to get it back...

Great van - you should try to contact those (ex) Poly students who travelled in her down to the south of France in the 70s!

Finally sorting through some of my spare spares. Got these leaf springs, all slightly different, bought as a job lot of spares for Commer Walk Thru's but they're different to mine - a lot of the extra spares I have seem to be for the petrol version, so thinking they could be for those, maybe...
