Unless you're talking about a Unimog, I would have to ask why? This thread is about Unimog trucks not French Civilian Autos.. Matt

M813rc You're right that Mog is rare. I've never seen a Swiss one that was sporting a camo paint scheme. Think I share your opinion where restoring a 404 is concerned. There are a lot of them out there so it would have to be a personal choice. As for what...

Another question (still pertaining to this thread, though) What does the hive mind think about a 404 needing complete resto? Possible project for someone or "forget it, go & find one in better shape"? Matt

From what I was told (a long-long time ago)by a (Swiss 404) owner was that the Swiss didn't sell off anything that they felt was less than perfect (road-worthy?). Vehicles they felt were sub par, got cut up for scrap...

Scott Thank you for the reply. I haven't been over to see the 'Mog in question in person(yet). Are the cargo bed floors on the French trucks wood or steel? I'm sure I'll have more questions (I just have to think of them first :grin:) ...

Hello List! I know that the French contract Unimogs used the "roadster" type cab top and appear to have the drop side beds on the cargo/troop trucks but that's all I know about them* Are there any other neuances that set them apart from the Belgian or German 404s? Thanks. Regards, Matt * I...
