David,



Yep, it's for 24V.  One the inside wall where the wiring passes through
there is a plug with a big 24V sticker.



The wheel wells are cut.  It's hard to tell from the picture, but all the
fender wells have been cut.



Other than the roll bar and front bumper, nothing has really been added.
It's a pretty original ex-military vehicle.



Cheers,



Jeff

Jeff,
Are you sure the 2nd alternator is for 24V?  I have imported and owed a few
dual alternator T3s and they were all 12V - just two separate systems one
for the regular stuff and one for the military stuff like radios and the
like.  This way one could run the radio batteries flat and start the van.

Also, it really don't look like a Syncro 16 as the fender openings are not
cut.

Don't get me wrong - neat truck that someone added some nice goodies to.
