In this video, I see if I can get this old UD Turbo Diesel Tip Truck or Dump Truck running after it has been sitting for so many years it has sunk into the ground and become completely overtaken by nature. UD Trucks are a wing of Nissan Trucks in Australia, and I estimate this would be a mid 1980’s built Truck. It’s fitted with a large turbo diesel engine and a road ranger style gearbox. The truck is full of spider webs and when I opened the door on my initial inspection, two massive spiders ran out to greet me. Wish me luck on This will it start video, I’m going to need it! Thanks for watching, Bruce.
