looks like an ex heavy haulage truck, econofreight had blue and white trucks but i dont think the chassis where red

regards mark

felgates of barking had similar livery but not sure if they had 6x4s though

hello,
maybe it’s my eyes,but that looks like a rear lift 6 by 2 not double drive 6 by 4 ?either way i think she’d be best described as parts only.

Me thinks it looks like ex Pentons of Owestry. They always put plenty of paint on so i would think thats why its lasted this long.Sorryful picture but brings a lot of memories back.thanks for posting the old girl.

That tag axle looks like a D.I.Y.add-on, you can see how it’s been extended beyond the end of the original chassis.Looks like the tinworms have had a lot of good meals off it, I’m surprised them Scandiwegians never cottoned on to making fibreglass cabs!

Fodenway i agree with s39 Foden fibre glass cabs one peice but needed more refining. you see in 1978 europe banned fibreglass cabs that why erf
started using injection moulded plastic glued onto a steel frame for the B series.
