Hi Trev,
I drove an FFK 140 with the underslung engine,they had a flat floor with a double passenger seat,a good lorry.
Cheers Dave.Dave, wouldn’t it have been an FFH 140 with that engine ?
Could have been Trev.I always thought of it as an FFK,but Pete Windrush will be the man to put us right.
FF-series/FH-series cab
Morris FF 1958-1961
Morris FH 1961-1964
Also sold as Austin 45
Launched in 1958 to replace the upper end of the FE range, the FF came in 5-ton, 7-ton and 8-ton variants. While not as innovative as the FG cab (which would appear within a couple of years to sit below the FF), it did at least have a more up-to-date appearance than its predecessor. While the lower front panel was carried over from the FE cab (see above), the rest of the cab was new, with a contemporary wraparound windscreen taking the place of the FE’s old-fashioned two-part screen with separate quarterlights.
The FH cab looked identical to FF, but used a modified floorpan in order to accommodate a six-cylinder diesel engine. The FF/FH cab — and its Austin equivalent, the 45 — also formed the basis for a variety of coachbuilt conversions by independent companies: in Asian countries, it proved a popular with bus and coach constructors, while Scottish company Halmo Engineering stretched the basic cab to produce a crew-cab. In 1964, the FH was repalced by the all-new FJ cab .
