Wow, what's #4 going to be? Interesting gauge panel. What are the 3 toggle switches under it? Air shift and what else?

nice addition

Being Norwegian, perhaps the other two toggles are air lockers?

Do tell about the toggles....why 3

 

[jeepcato]

Well one switch toggles 6 wheel drive and the other 2 switches is for air lockers. Then "nothing" can stop you

Beautiful. How hard are the 624s to find? How about parts trucks? I'd love to be able to get one over here, or at least a set of axles. Love the Norwegian trucks.

For those stateside, this is the breakdown of the air levers. One is for front drive, just like our trucks. I believe this is the middle lever The second one engages both rear axle lockers and the 3rd engages the front locker. At that point, just hold on!

Interesting dump set up. Whats the purpose of the big rollers mounted under the bed? And the reverse arches they roll against on the frame rails?

I think the purpose with the rolls under the bed is, that when you lower the bed you dont get all the weight on the "hinges" at the back,
but when the bed rises high enough there are not so much pressure on the hinges.
This truck's weight is about 1000 kilograms more than the flatbed so i guess the frame has been upgraded pretty much.

All the trucks in Norway has the airlocker on every axle's
