Philippe skrev:Hello,
I am a Canadian living in Finnish Lapland and I just bought one of these LA82B 14.10.1961, 31000km. I have to say I love to drive that truck, but my wallet doesn't like to feed it.
I am planing to install 13R22.5 all around, hoping it will lower the fuel consumption and save the original tires for shows and restoration.
I am now planing to install an old HIAB FOCO 303 in the back and a flat bed. Tomorrow, I might even have a new source for parts, but I don't speak swedish
On all the 13 or 14 I have seen all of them had problem with the steering pump hoses leaking. Then the head gasket need to be changed most of the time if they have been sitting for a long time. Other than that I can't find anything wrong. Only 2 of them were slightly dirty in the valve cover.
Many of those will go to Africa and probably disappear, about the other half sold to companies to continue their hard work. Very few goes in the hand of restorer.
http://www.myrsloken.eu/ I have found some of these trucks up north in norbotten. For example the 175315. Is this site from anyone here ?
Check my gallery for some pictures.

The steering pump return pipe uses metric pipe thread 26mm diameter. So it is needing a little bit more work to find the exact parts. I have now cuted the crush sleeves so that I can save the ends. But I will change the hydrolic hose adapter to something more common, so I will have both possibilities. I will take photos.

13R22.5 is fitting quite well on 22.5x8.5" rims. There is still a lot of space in the fenders.

26mm side is the one to keep, 30mm side can be changed to what ever.
