I think it’s an Oshkosh, but I might be wrong… as usual…
Reckon your right about that being an Oshkosh Patrick looking at the cab and the one in this pic.

Anyone remembers Anglia heavy haulage? (nmp)
Interesting 'screen arrangement on this LV:
I wonder if John3300 knows anything about it?

Can’t understand why you don’t like it David, as it heats up rapidly and you’re not exactly 6ft5 tall…?
Can’t be that many firms around that are (nearly) a 100 years old and and are still “in the business”…? And are still family owned? I found two Dutch examples, 1st is Goudriaan, them being the youngest, as they only started back in 1926…
2nd is E. Lafeber, last year was going to be a very special celebration for them, as they reached their 200 year anniversary! Sadly however, with everything that’s going on, they couldn’t celebrate it as was intended, but I’m sure that it’ll be a belated birthday party nonetheless!

It’s not the tallity Patrick, if it has a heater at all, I agree with you, and don’t forget the best advantage.
Both right and left turns can both be signalled using hands.
BTW, on the question of height, I am 5’6" and a previous colleague at Toray was 6’7". Standing together in the yard we never saw eye to eye, but once seated in the car we were both the same height. In other words it is all in the legs and they are they first to go. I have seen enough really tall people struggle in old age to be thankful for my compactness.

I thought you were taller than 5’6" PV, I wondered why they put a high chair next to the table in The Salt Box!
And again for you PV!
