Don’t know if it’s what your looking for, but there’s a GUY J6 and J8 brochure for sale on EBay at the moment.
thanx gb1 it might show if the 240 gardner was an option could be just what we are looking for i think i will mail the seller and ask or do you think thats a wee bit cheeky lol
I don’t know that much about Guy Big J’s,but a lot of the units were J4T’s.Ithink the J6 and J8 were six and eight wheelers.
Cheers Dave.
Now that would be some find----a Big J6 with 8LXB and 10ft long tipper body!!! Dennis.

That sounds about right Dennis, that all you would get behind it a 10 ft long body.

I hardly dare say, but this is a copy from the Borg & Beck Clutch catalouge from 1976.
Doesn’t proove much on it’s own, I grant you!.
What it proves is that Borg & Berg produced a clutch for a Guy fitted with an 8 cyl gardner and a fuller 9509 gearbox, you’d hardly think they would have produced a clutch for something that did n’t exist
What the Borg &beck parts list is saying,is IF Guy’s built a chassis with an 8LXB engine the clutch as that used in the ■■■■■■■ and RR chassis would be used! The part nos. are all the same! Dennis.

There not actually Dennis.
The cover for the ‘hypothetical’ 8LXB is 55715/13 and the others are 55715/18. That signifies a different springing rate.
I have never seen, or heard actual tell of an 8LXB Big J4T, but there must have been the seed of an idea at Guy for B&B to put it in the clutch catalouge.

Fair comment ERF,parts numbers were never my strong point!!! But your final sentence will definitely put you at odds with those in the “Guy’s built plenty of chassis with 8LXB engines even if no documentry proof exists” school of thought!! So if I were you I’d get in this trench with “H”,Trev H and me and pick up your rifle!!! Cheers Dennis.

Make sure you get a 360% excavator to dig the trench chaps .
Cheers Dave.

“H” and me reckon thats a good idea of yours Dave,it will save all that graft with the British Army Bulldog shovels----and we are getting on a bit now also!!! I’ll be “banksman” and tell you when to stop digging(as you obviously don’t yet know!) Then when you get deep enough we can put the inverted “A” frames in to carry the the duck boards(no water in our dugout!!).Dennis.

Me…I have a wide open mind on this one Dennis!.
Even after all these years round trucks, I’m not ashamed to say I still learn something most days!.
If Guy did build ‘plenty’ of units with the 240, I didn’t see one on my travels round the UK to haulage depots, and one didn’t make it into our yard, and an awful lot of Big J’s from a lot of fleets did in those days.
it looks as if this as enough room for a 8 cylinder percy
