Ossie Pleasant rescued this Volvo C304 (TGB13) from a field a few years back and gave it a lot of love to get going again.

Hello, this was the transportvehicle for a grenadrifle group when I did my military service. 8 guys, 2 x 84mm carlgustav grenadrifles 1 maschingun, and 50 antitankmines. And a lot of other equipment 😅. In the platoon we also had 2 Hägglunds 2061 with 90mm recoillessguns or TOW robots. Did I mention, this was 77-79 😁 Tgb13 = terraincar 13 😲 🤓 Lennart

We had this Volvo in my Company when I was in the Swedish Army back in 1979. It´s an awesome vehicle.

I used to drive a Tgb20 back when I did my military service in 1997-98. The Tgb20 is basically the same, just a bit longer and no hard sides on the back. It was a troop transport so you could fold down the entire side and disembark all 18 soldiers in a matter of seconds. Our vehicle was fitted with a plywood wall separating the rearmost compartment and makin it into a storage compartment. We usually carried about 1.000 kilos of landmines there. xD I _very_ much regret that I didn't buy one when the Swedish armed forces sold them out just after the millenium. Back then you could buy one in pristine condition for about 10.000 SEK or about $1.000. The used ones were basically sold as scrap.

I don't know about one pristine conditions coming out of military commission. Lots of reckless and terrible driver in the army.

The Sweden army did not sell any of it except thru ONE company some army selling and they got it pricey. Then Sweden gave the Baltic states some trucks and people got a lot of it from there. The Sweden army did only gave some trucks to the Baltic to hide all the stealing from the armed forces in Sweden thru the years. Then they sold a bunch of materials to a auctions company from England and they sold a lot of it in Sweden. Absolutely shameful that the Swedes did not have a change to by it some years ago.

I drove the tgb 13, when I did army service 1979-80. I drove the ”sick transport” (ambulanse light). It had a high top cabin behind the drivers cabin. We destroyed quite a few clutches...

I drove the C303/tgb11 (the 4x4 version) in the army, but trained on the C304/tgb13 as well. The latter felt more stable in rough terrain (somewhat worse than the one in the video), but I never had any serious mishap. The snow/terrain chains provide extra grip, but are a chore to mount.

Seem to remember seeing this video some time ago(more than 2weeks). Just curious about how the build is going. And specifically, what sort of interior height did you get with the pop top?

@brandnhaley 4 жыл бұрын

The interior is still empty while Ossie is still designing a build out. Cant remember an exact height, but I want to say it is around 6ft
