TrogBlog is a log of my experiences converting a Volvo C306 civilian firetruck into a camper. I purchased Trog in Feb 2008 and have been working to get it ready for use summer 2009. Still lots of work to do.

Hey
Could you please tell me where to find the “Tunerlugs” that you show in april 2008. I am restoring a C303 firewall in Rome bought in sweden.

Thank you for putting together such a great blog. I have been looking at these volvos for a few years and the work you have documented here is inspirational. I am planning on buying a c303 this year.
Great blog. Do you have the technical data on your car, I am looking at a c306 similar to yours, and can see that it is a little longer between the wheels compared to a c304 6×6, do you have 4 or 5 gear and what is the weight ????
Hi Lars, I don’t think u can embed a photo in the comments, but if you send it to me at wesc@technosis.com I can post it if it’s appropriate…
Lars: It’s a 4 speed, with medium (7.1x ratio) axles. Not as fast as the 303 axles (5.99) and the C304 axles (7.5x i think). Weight is around 7000 lbs, though I haven’t weighed it on a scale. It is stretched about 1/2 meter vs the c304.
