But wottaya expect from a tanker, jeeps are something engaged with coax. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/another_oggian.html#comment-89767 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/another_oggian.html#comment-89767 Tue, 16 Jun 2009 21:33:31 -0600 Spiff

Let's see...

Datsun puts the exhaust manifold on the same side as the intake...

(wide hood, four banger engine, looks like a four-core radiator...)  maybe that russian thing, but I'm thinking it's a Japanese design (right hand steering, wrong engine for a land rover-even a Series one.)  Exhaust manifold's design indicate pre-seventies engineering (or early seventies), the radiator placement almost looks like an early Wagoneer or Land Rover, but the motor's likely less than two liters, and those "Spark Plug Wires" look suspiciously like Glow Plugs to me-they're too thick to be sparkplugs unless you've got some real high amperage units, or there's a LOT of extra shielding there.

Two belts, but provision for additional on the pulleys...

I'm thinking maybe soviet after all...or Chinese.

Nay, I believe 'tis a Japanese weapons-carrier built by Mitsubishi, possibly the one they based the Isuzu Trooper or Mitsubishi Montero on.

Post-World War. Oil bath air cleaner. Partial fold down rear seat. Looks like a beach Boys woody, but all metal.  ;)

  Either that, or a Sovet GAZ.

And it's not a landrover, LR engines had intake and exhaust on the same side.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/another_oggian.html#comment-89659 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2009/06/another_oggian.html#comment-89659 Sat, 13 Jun 2009 22:24:12 -0600 A go-devil is a flathead, this is obviously an overhead valve. Also, this has curved fender wells, where a yeep has flat fenders.
