One of our contract hauliers Rydian Harris with the worse lorry he owned
hi anthony,
i didn’t know rhydian had an fm volvo.last time i saw him he was still running an r cab scania,what’s the matter with the volvo? at a guess i would say it’s what we call in the trade …21st centuryeightous!or to put it another way “the computer said no”,go down the road these days and all you see on the back of tilt bed transporters are vehicles that are often less than 4-5 years old with an ecu management problem.remember if you want reliability buy something old and uncomplicated. 
regards andrew

Andrew, were you aware that this truck was posted earlier in this thread in its later life with Walls? It was lengthened and had a hiab, slidedbed and second lift added to become an accident unit a role it performed for many years.
good old farm deliveries with sugar beat when the farmers wife says yes we,ve had artics up here and when you get there they orr thats bigger than our milk tanker

ANTAR GOING FOR EXPORT (Antar mk111 with RR 335? ENGINE)that looks like a good bit of rigging…NOT!
They were alledgely Rigged like that so the nose would go on first to the hold as there wasnt enough room to turn them in thee…
That’s what I thought ( bad rigging ) but now you have said that John I can see it.
Me too…wish i’d kept my mouth shut now 
Nice to see you on board John.i used to work just round the corner from your dad when i drove for Chris Morgan.good old times.
regards Mark 
do ya know i did think the rigging was dodgy. but thinking back i’ve dun the same to land a pipe(on my own) with my hiab in Shell and got reported for
having a length of pipe not level if only they had asked

There was a funny story about one of these half cabs in artic form in one of the mags, two lads were hitchiking and one of these pulled up. The driver said the look on the lads faces was of total dismay! Like as to say “What sort of luck is that, catching the only half-cab around?” The two lads actually rode on the bonnet to the next best place to get a ‘proper’ lift!!
Does anyone remember the half cabs running out of Craig-yr-esq quarry on the road up to Ynysycow? (Sorry, Ynysybwl.)

I remember Andrew Jones from St Mary Hill had two half cab Fodens with rock bodies they were on block stone running to the new harbour in Port Talbot from craig -yr-eos. dai cap.
