Half cab yes brill pic B D Whitwick A R C had 4 drove 1 on nights dry stone to M Keynes for a while , alright I thought but called Animals by everybodyCant really remember them coomsey,but must have been a bit tight for storing your personal bits and bobs
you take to work. Would imagine that they were pretty rare ?■■They were not THAT rare, at Tilcon our depot alone had around 20+ of them (tippers and powder tankers) and there were many more nationwide based at other quarries. Not a bad truck, you could just squeeze two people in the cab which we sometimes had to do on breakdowns but it was tight! Ivonbrook Quarries had a few as well locally, also ARC had a lot of tippers and mixers (ex St Ives Sand and Gravel I believe) but fitted with the ‘dumper’ type of half cab instead.

Hi Pete, don’t recall any later than J reg n only Foden, would that be right?
Ideal for tipper work most lorries I drove never went anywhere near the passenger seat. N you could get to nearside window always a game on hot days on the road.Plenty of room for flask n snap.
Was there any payload gain? Paul
