What year 80 did this come out of? I have an 83 HJ47 RHD Armstrong steering. I have a RHD Steering box out of a 40 but am interested in the possibility of this box conversion.
I really appreciate your reply and thorough explanation of the O/R XZL. They do look awesome, but I agree they may not be practical even for an old HJUTE.
New reason to visit France, that looks awesome. I think that tire is made for quarries and mine trucks. I do not find that size you reference.
I do see a 255r100 x16 😉

Yes, the restorer I used found my windshield frame in bad shape. His labor to repair would have been higher than a new frame from CI TROA. Also, my frame was RHD. Ordered and paid on 11/24/20, and frame arrived in central Florida on 11/30/20. When the frame came in, the shop did measurements...
How is getting your original belts reworked working out?

Is anyone using any coating on the Zinc hardware as you are putting it together, such as anti-seize or silicone grease to help resist future corrosion?
