Possibly a RFW? They were locally-built trucks using TK cabs and GM/Detroit engines. Here are a few more.
Somebody is being optimistic with a 5 axle TK
We had a TK with a York trailing axle conversion to make it a six wheeler.
This was in 1965, IIRC it had a Leyland engine and 22ft body for flat and livestock work
RFW were custom, vocational truck builders, specializing in one off and small batch runs, during the '70s.
Initially they used Bedford cabs, later they used basic, flat paneled cabs of their own manufacture. A handful of coaches were also produced.
Brisbane City Council gully sucker, custom built by RFW.
Is it a Triumph ?
Hereâs an example of a post I have never seen before, from over a year ago. so I didnât even know that the Lake District ratbag had had yet another unprovoked go at me.
A brief touch at the scroll button just now to answer a current post by @franglais seems to have sent the system into a wild historical apoplexy.
BTW my description of the author of the above quote is mild compared to views of him expressed to me privately using words I do not use even offline.
His insults seem to have derived from an appreciative comment I made about the son on here, Mike Ponsonby, of an old friend and business aquaintance of mine of the same name. I received a private apology of Bewickâs attack by the person concerned, whose operations and manner I thoroughly approved, and approve, of.
Unfortunately for me itâs walked off the port side and reappeared on the starboard side. Itâs getting to the stage were Iâm wondering if itâs worth the bother looking in at the moment. You start to read something and it jumps to a post from months ago.
Yes 250o, l tried posting another photo but it wasnt playing
I spoke too soon
The forumâs playing up worse than a second hand lawnmower.
Someone has thrown a spanner in the works, the site has more gremlinâs than an ET convention.
From the âFeedbackâ board, there is a workaround.
Enter Safe Mode Trucknet UK - Britain's Biggest and Brightest forums for the Professional Driver (you may have to do this more than once to make it stick) and it starts to behave itself.
You want to translate that into English, mate?
I use an android tablet and chrome.
How does that work with an Apple I phone,please?
Those TK cabs were hard work if you were over 3ft tall .I used to drive them around the yard when i was a kid and had to bend down to see out of the screen.The DAF 2800s werenât much better
FtfyâŚ(joking btw.)
I think the site has got wise to me, what worked for me yesterday has suddenlly turned back to sh.
You should try having 3 to 4 nights out a week in one at 6 foot 1âŚAnd with your as tall mate on parcel shelf with feet out of window,.and dog sleeping on floorâŚI kid you not.
HeyâŚI was a young lad,I put up with anything in those days..
(Btw absolutely nothing wrong with a 2800 DAF twin sleeper.)
Never a fan of the DAF . I was lucky i only had to drive the TKs around the yard. My dad had a few S Types?? working on contact for Magnet at Keighley with quite a few drops around London in the late 50s but he always stopped in digs
