Wanted: metal sideboards with the metal doors

Post by TechMOGogy »

Wanted to Buy:
Did not see a Hafi Classified section.
Looking for a set of side panels/sideboards that have the small metal door (as seen in the pics below - not mine just from the web - I think 1st one was at Jim's place?).
Looking for complete L & R sides.
Barring that - if anyone owns a Haflinger with this setup it would be great to get detailed measurements and tons of pictures so I could try and fab them.
I have a parts book and it shows various sideboards but not these ones.
I did find an image online from some other parts book but it is low quality so I can't see any detail at all.
Thanks in advance for any help.

This is the configuration most commonly seen on the Austrian military trucks. The top photo was taken at Jim LaGuardia's place but that early production (1960) truck now spends time with its new owners in Washington state. I am not sure if they are on this list.

The lower image is of a complete funkwagen that I believe is still located in Europe. Very rarely do these short metal door/sideboard combinations come up for sale. One could fabricate a set using a pair of long side boards.

Take care.

Thanks
Good to know where that one is located - perhaps I can track him down via Jim??
I agree, if someone has a regular set of sideboards for sale I would be interested as well!

I think Andre has fabricated a version of these as well; his looked very close to stock.

Hi,
Sorry new to the board. Who is Andre?
Did a search but not much showed up in the Haflinger forum.
Thanks,

Edit: found this so I assume Andre Swanson (Fat Fabrications)?

Yup, Andre of Fat fab. Sorry to not have added a link, but you must have found him.

If you send me your contact information through our Northwest MogFest site, I can then pass it on to the owners of the 1960 vintage truck. I suspect they would be happy to help out.
Take care.

Does anyone have a better copy of this page?
It shows what I need but I can't see much as the quality is junk.
Thanks,
