I also passed my, (then), HGV 3 in Germany, when in the army.
Superb truck, but I can't remember the steering being too bad, as I'm not strong in the forearm area.
I remember driving a TK skip in Northern Ireland too, and it had a five-speed box, it had power steering and was as light as feather. Maybe, if funds allow, you could do a conversion.

Save yourself some money in the long run and buy one of these http://www.mod-sales.com/direct/vehicle/,26,/14692/Bedford.htm# (A proper bedford ;)) And flog off all the Ptarmigan assemblies and SCAM 12 masts seperately on fleabay (a good mast will sell for £400-600 alone and there should be 3 of them) . I reckon you'd make more than half your money back and still be left with a well equipped box body with 240v heating 2x gene sets all ready for an expedition vehicle conversion.

If I had the money I would :(

I remember my first exercise in BAOR in the early 80's. A young tech sent out to assist a Radio Relay crew in one of these...



We got crashed out at night and the driver was descending a steep track, in the dark on sidelights only. He changed down a gear... it jumped out of gear and smashed his elbow... so there we were.. downhill...in the dark... in neutral with a disabled driver!

Aaaarrggghhhh!!!!!!!!!    :shock:

He's screaming at me to put it back in gear... I'm not a driver.. don't even know what gears are... was quite exciting for a moment!

Awsome beasts.. will go anywhere in the right hands.
