Found this G88 among some of the stuff I’ve been able to recover and thanks to Len Rogers for the pic.
What Wikipedia has to say about the model…
A derivative of the F88 was the G88 introduced in 1969, which was basically the same vehicle but with the front axle fitted 30 cm further forward to allow greater axle spread, necessary to increase the gross vehicle weight in Sweden up to 52.5 tons. The G-version was sold mainly in Sweden, Norway and Australia. The fact that today’s trucks are built over exactly the same receipt as the F88 proves that it was decades ahead of its time. The last F/G88 left the assembling line in 1978.

Oily, I took this shot at the Trans-Pennine run many years ago. The picture doesn’t do justice to what is a massive outfit. The Mack prime mover is towing a wartime 5.5 howitzer (i’m sure someone will correct me if i’m wrong 
) The restoration was done by Geoff Maskell from Seaham. The Mack had been a snowplough in your neck of the woods after its military service. The guys who drove those ploughs deserve a gong as big as a dustbin lid, canvas sides, primitive heaters, and very restricted forward vision, although I dont think they would worry too much about what they encountered traffic wise in a blizzard. Regards Kev.
Looks like a WW2 Canadian Chevrolet . 15cwt pickup?
Is that not a Chevrolet badge on the grille?
Ford Canada made an identical one with the Ford Pilot engine. I think it was a V8 petrol.
I think that Artillery piece is a “Long Tom”.

Hi Kev, I remember the Macks, as for the drivers their previous steeds were AEC 4cyl. Monarchs(3way tippers) so with the huge increase in power and lefthand drive no doubt took a bit of getting used to, they were petrol engined and you could hear them well before you saw them, tracing by sound of effort which bank cutting they were going through, I was a youth and not beyond the excitement generated by this powerful beast, so a beeline was made to a vantage point and recognition of the driver, who was a fellow council worker of my dad. Can’t remember any traffic incidents* involving the plough but can recall when a bit of speed was got up that road verge could be seen flying into the fields and as you say mostly down to restricted vision because of bonnet length and sweeping up curve front to rearside of the blades.
- Not to many cars in them days in my neck of the woods.
Cheers

Hello Dai, the SSK reg is Caithness, so a good chance the ERF was new to Steven&Son and the bricks on the Comet would probably have been a back load from central Scotland to Peterhead area, from Avonbridge mebbe, can’t think of any brickworks north of the central belt.

Watched this Iveco arriving, hooking up and leaving at Carsegate Inverness, looked and sounded a bit mismatched, but hey what do I know.

I knew someone would know exactly what that popgun was. By the way I have seen one of those "toys"in the “erect” position (pardon the expression) 
just off the A65 near Kirkby Lonsdale, do you think the farmer knows something we don’t? Regards Kev.
Oily, Here’s one especially for you, I know your keen on heavy haulers.
