Gee, it's hard to say which one I like the most but I'm leaning towards the mog, great truck with lots of potential. It's a pity they are all left hand drive.
Lucky bastard.

Nice!
I am surprised how high the front bumper is (comparing it to the U1300)

It's funny how small and big the 303 is.

dokatd,
Where are you? The neighborhood reminds me of Dallas, TX in the winter, though I guess you are a world apart from there.

I am right smack dab in the middle of Dallas. Just off white rock lake.

Cool. We'll have to get a Texas Treffen together so we can all drink beer, bbq, and drool over trucks.

Great c303, this version i alu/zink version which is protected against corrosion.
This one is restored with a brand new body around 1995.
The swedish Army spent around 20 000 usd restoring them the keep them operational. New body, new electrics, improved choke, new carbs and more.
Many of them spent the next 10-20 years locked away in storage so if you are lucky to find a alu/zink version it may be brand new
The visibel signs of a alu/zink body is the lack of Wood strip on the front doors, straight lower body edge over the rear footstep, chokewire moved from dash and placed next to the handbrake..... And most important, lack of corrosion.

That C303 brings a tear to my eye. Can you provide any recommendations regarding how to import one, especially to California? Did you use a company or do it your self? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
