Remember we used to send these beasts over the water!!!
Hi Pat, there were posh wagons to go over the water with compared to these
Those two are absolute belters! Seem to remember the fishy Foden’s firm having an article done on them in Truck or T & D in the mid-80’s

An old Pacton would be m tuppence worth.?
A photo taken on the old Severn Bridge in the 1980,s and the queue that often went with it. Time to get out and have a word with the other drivers as seen here. Remember when they would only let you across if you were loaded on a windy day , otherwise you were sent to wait on the Chepstow link road.

Note the 2 day cabs with the curtains round… my ole man used to have a piece of board that went across the door handles as a bed, but was not fabcy enough to have curtains, mostly covered as much of the window as he could with coats etcI had a 110 like that with Rodney G. Closs of Bulwell. It had a proper sleeping job inside. The back of the driver’s seat would drop down to reveal a cushioned surface which joined up exactly with the bench passenger seat. It was as comfortable as any sleeper cab and the only problem was the lack of storage space.
As to curtains, it had a proper curtain rail all round the cab and the thick curtains were even colour coded to match the wagon’s livery, turquoise.
I remember seeing the same thing launched for the 82/112 series day cabs - Truck magazine mentioned that altho it narrowed down to around 11 inches behind the drivers seat it did allow enough room to sleep but was illegal because a drivers feet had to be so far away from the brake lever. They then went on to say most of the current sleeper cabs were illegal too under that law.Wonder if that law still stands?
