Hi Keith,
I drove TK Bedfords, also a KM, the TK’S carried 9ton 16cwt payload, running at 14 ton gross until the plating came in 1968.
My old man drove TK’s on animal feeds along with all sorts of other Bedfords and various other makes delivering around farms for over 40 years, passed a class one, when HGV license came out, but still carried on with bag ■■■■■■■ until he retired. He was sent to do the HGV 1 test, so that he could ride shotgun, to learn young drivers, his firm paid for him, knowing he wouldn’t leave, it wouldn’t happpen nowadays.
Cheers Dave
