That is not the original VIN plate. Some PO had it made.

Louis, all split buses have a tendency to lift a wheel on uneven terrain. It has nothing to do with the weight and everything to do with limited axle articulation. This makes it very easy to get stuck. The way to deal with it is to use the handbrake to generate resistance and stop the lifted wheel from spinning so the grounded wheel can apply some power to the ground.

What ever you decide to do, I'm sure you will keep the wide bed safe, Fleetline single cabs with good condition wide beds are, well, like any other split SC pretty rare in SA now. Let us know if you want to part with it, but, it would be a pity to separate the two. I love them for their "quirkiness". The VIN plate looks like it's been changed at some stage in the past. Great that you still have the "snorkel".
My Fleetline SC has been patiently waiting for 7 years, it is complete,but a major project.
It will be stored or used :D Thank you, they are rare yes..... Do you have pics of yours?

Sorry for the poor quality pic, best I can do for now. As you can see, much work to do .....

The Rat look is awesome.

I was thinking of having a canvas canopy (like on some of the new LDVs) made up for my SC. It should look quite cool.
