The humble Ford D series,thats the custom cab one innit,
Sure it is,back in the early sixties we use to see these dark army green coloured lorries loaded and sheeted,seemed to be
always on the M2 24hrs,somebody found out later it was FORD trialing a new type of lorry,with a FORWARD CONTROL cab
different to the Thames Trader ,these lorries used go from Dagenham,east London to Margate or Ramsgate
Kent to and fro 24hrs,about 2 yrs i think,always seemed to be flat out throttlewise not speeding though,
Odd really,later on when i was old enough over 21,it was the first lorry i drove,new one 1967 reg, 3ton 4cwt empty i think? not too bad a drive,drove it about a year,could have got to drive hgvs automatically,on that experience of driving over the 3 ton mark as was then,i think was the norm.
