I’d say Neville as well, going by the method of construction. Neville used a clever modular system whereby extruded alloy sections about 15 inches wide could be bolted/rivetted together to make up the required length of body. This one looks to have been built the same way, but the tapered profile is certainly unusual.

Clever or not, I’m not keen on the look.

Neville bodies were useless on quarry work , when they got worn they bent between each join , so if you were tipping damp or sticky materials you ended up with stuff stuck all down the body .

I never used one Dave but the coal n gravel boys liked them. Cheers Coomsey

That Foden appeared in this advert in 1966 Coomsey. :wink:

Click on pages once or twice.

Heres a few more Fodens Hoveringham operated.

As to all this chatter about the ribbed tipping bodies ,it probably was Neville as per the two below. :unamused: However there were an
awful lot of trailer manufacturers about back then. The design would date it from the 1960’s early 70’s. The last pic/advert shows a similar
design from Northern Trailers,and i am sure other manufacturers would have built similar style bodies.
