THE PORTAL HUB - Pinzgauers, Haflingers, Volvo 303s and more!

I bought them from a guy in Oman

Apologies for the delayed response. Life.

Friends have advised me to ask $45K. I am willing to negotiate.

I'm sad to say I have to put my 712K up for sale. It is a great truck but life situation makes this a must do.

I'll come back and post pictures and more details later this weekend.

I've added: electric ignition, electric fuel pump, high torque starter, power steering, 7 Ford Transit steel wheels ...

Does anyone have a K parts truck with a roof hatch. I know I can get one new but too expensive for the modification I want to do. Hatch doesn’t need to be in great shape.

I’m getting ready to install an onboard air system and wondering where folks have mounted an onboard air compressor? Photos would be super.

Thanks

The little pins that engage the passenger front seat mounting points are broken off my frame. I'm wondering if anyone has tried to improve the front mounting of the seat frame? Looking for ideas that might be better than just welding new pins on the frame.

Nice build. Does your gauge support more than one cylinder head temp input?

Already fixed this was from more than a year ago. All good now.

“Has any board member ever overheated a Pinzgauer air cooled engine to failure point? “

I melted my #3 piston, does that count?

Prepping my 712K for painting, actually Plastidiping. Started unscrewing my rub rails and about half of them are just spinning. What are some methods I should try to remove them?

Just to finish this off. I put everything back as it was since I was headed out on a three day run and wasn’t expecting to need headlights. When everything was back in place the headlights worked. Hi and low beam all good. Maybe something was loose and is now tight.

Thanks for all the wisdom ...

With the switch turned on I only get power to 81a and 15. I can’t hear the relay change with the switch on the steering wheel. Know of any source for the relay other than SAV? $82 seems like a lot for this especially if it turns out to be something else.

Thanks

#15 has power. Anything else I should check before tearing apart the dash?

Best way to get there? Remove the whole panel or try to just remove the switch?

Thanks,

Jake

You may have missed it in my last post, but #56 does not have power even with the switch on. Isn't that my problem? I can check the power to #15.

Thanks,

Jake

Turns out the relay is the second device with the black plastic bottom. I have power at #81a (red wire). I do not at #56 (White & Black wire) with lights switch on. I do get the running lights at both the first and second detents on the light switch.
