Taskman:
Looking at that Atky cab of ‘Killingbecks’ it looks like it is ready for another 100,000, I think alot of our baby drivers would be cringing at the thought of working for that task master from Blackburn.
Unfortunately, it won’t do another 100000 miles in that state!
The majority of it was not worth saving and is now living in a landfill site somewhere! The rest is sat in my garage awaiting some TLC!
I would like to add Foden S80 to this list. Theres one in this months classic and commercial vehicle magazine going free to whoever collects it for spares in the Essex area. Remember those great big headlights and mish-mash of windows. Ugly but also strangely beautiful in a way.

Also a leading contender for “Biggest cab / least amount of room inside” competition, but my ugliest truck vote still goes to the Spanish Dodge, winner of the “Spot more smoking on the hard shoulder than actually on the road” competition.
The Lad cabs on a lot of motors is ugly and the Bedford S type
These things win it hands down , Renault never improved on the Berliet cab

I loved the Spanish Dodges I drove and never had an ounce of trouble.
Now the new Renault, thats ugly!!

anyone remember the bug-eyed Macks? seen 1 or 2 about years ago…don’t know what model they were…but they were pig-ugly
The Renault’s are the best looking truck on the road atm (IMHO) and when they are liveried up they look even better

For me that one is ugly. But it’s a military truck, they aren’t made to look nice 
Ugliest truck ever built?
dunno about the truck but the ugliest driver I have seen is always there when I look into a mirror

Heres ‘The Dublin Dustbin’ 
The Jelcz from Poland or the last of the Renaults to use the club of four cab, they kept nailing bits to the bottom of the doors as the cab was mounted higher, what a monstrosity 
There are so many trucks that are just plain ugly, but this truck has to be the worst. It’s the Kenworth CBE (cab beside engine) from the mid 1950’s.
I vaugely remember these rolling atrocities still being used when I was a kid, and they were just as ugly in person as they were in these pictures.
They were cheap, so companies likes them, but drivers hated them. I know it doesn’t make much sense, but later versions actually had 2 seats (one behind the other), and a sleeper, like this version:
So, is there anything uglier over there? Perhaps some old Russian truck??

Well, at least ungainly, if not actually ugly was the Atkinson Viewline (see the pics section for one under the title "Big A, Proper Wagon). I owned the one in the pics for 19 years and loved it to bits, but could never claim that it was beautiful to look at!
Still, as my Mother says “A beetle is beautiful in the eyes of its mother!”
Thats defo the hunchback of trucks

Enough people took a photo of it so they must think it was beautiful!
Me included - so here is one of said photographs!
