<FONT]I can take any pics you might like to see of the IFA! Do you mean like pics of the fusebox, switches, etc? It does have the fuses like the VW's had! I'll show my ignorance now by asking what is the "FMTV"? I was just wondering!

Hello Again!
I have to admit that driving Giant Trucks is Extremely Addictive! I have not driven my truck in about a week and I am having withdrawal syptoms! I have found myself finding, or shall I say, making up reasons to drive it. I actually offered my truck to help a friend move! It was a...
Hello!
I took this pic the other day to help show how high my truck actually sits! The sign is standard height! I once had to look over a sign to see if anything was coming! That was a trip! I was driving my truck the other day and my compressor belt shredded on me! It was the only thing left...
Hello Nat!
It's nice to see a fellow Amateur Radio Operator On Here! I've been a Ham since '77 and have really enjoyed it! Good Luck on your latest project! I really like your truck! It looks cool with the hard top!
Take Care!

Hello Ehsan,
Thanks for offering to help with obtaining parts off the old IFA. I do not need any parts except for some air switches that probably aren't on that year truck. I will tell Matthias about it in case he might need some parts! Too bad it can't be saved and fixed up one day!
I will talk...
Hello Ehsan! [/I]
Welcome to the forum! It is nice of you to post photos! It would be nice to save that one from the scrap heap! It looks like an early IFA W-50. I would like to know its history and background! There are some good parts on it too!
While I'm at it, does anybody know what that German Looking Gizmo is?

I did translate the other numbers which were for wheel size. These tyres are the original ones from the factory in East Germany and I seriously doubt they would put a tyre on a 10 ton rated vehicle that couldn't handle it! (IFA produced a truck in the mid eighties, the IFA W-50LZ, that had a...
