The S39 cabbed four wheel goods chassis were probably the last built although Foden still built four wheel Dump trucks and 4x4 Military models. Even back to the mid 60’s Foden four wheel production concentrated mainly on tractor units. The model below is an L reg and likely the last of these as the S40 cab had been released at the start of the 70’s and the S39 cab was dated by mid 70’s. It is one of the nicer looking Foden cabs the company produced. Franky.

The best looking Foden for me Franky, although things were a little tight in there,Rigsby reckons everything at hand ■■ I had the 12sp in the Glovers one but I preferred the fake 12sp in the Tarmac gal, I wouldn’t have minded either, wished I’d have had a bash in the Leyland engined one ,my mate said they were the biz, but not to be, cheers Coomsey

Regarding the Leyland 680/12speed The s36 dropped a valve at Cottesmore and the fitter came out with the s21 wrecker and a straight bar . The fastest run up the a1 ever , I didn’t know an s36 speedo went that high . Hell of a lorry that s21 , I wish I could have driven it before it was converted from a tipper .
Hi Rigsby, I share your comments on the S21, I bet it was a cracking bit of gear to drive, I only had one S21 Foden but it made a few bob for me as a owner Driver, I could take it anyware Long haul Short haul, It was the making of my doing good in the haulage game when I was Raring to go anyware with loads that paid well.Take care & stay safe my friend, Regards Larry

Cant knock that Dan ! Better than those euro 6 sheds. 
Something a bit older.
This S21 Foden was a great motor with its 150 Gardner Engine & Fodens 12 speed gear box, It was a great motor to drive & very good on MPG, I have the full history of it from when it was new & where it ended its days,Regards Larry.

Used to have a Bardon 4 wheeler tipper load steel punchings out of Smiths on a regular basis, can’t remember his name but used to start at ridiculously early times, was nothing for him to have tipped on the south coast and be with us well before lunchtime. He drove a MAN.
ARC Whitwick had 6 of these gals,5 with the 680 in em, 1with a Gardner. The driver of the Gardner, I’m reliably informed,was a disgruntled man 
Hi all - found these two in Lausanne, CH this evening. No one around to ask any details though!
And one more, not really in the right thread, but Paccar at least. Is there a fairground wagons thread somewhere? Will add a few others if so - loads of big Dafs and Scanias down here.

Was this the S21 Rigs?
That’s the one Bonkey , what a beast it was . The late Eddie Smith ran it as a tipper but it was only a 24 tonner . They also had an s20 with a boom lift and an ex army tank winch at the time . I remember them building that s39 wrecker , we all got stuck in and brush painted the body , long time ago now !

Was the S36 a ‘Croft lorry? Seen a pic of the S39s they had.
