Hi Trev,
I drove an FFK 140 with the underslung engine,they had a flat floor with a double passenger seat,a good lorry.
Cheers Dave.
Dave, wouldn’t it have been an FFH 140 with that engine ?
Could have been Trev.I always thought of it as an FFK,but Pete Windrush will be the man to put us right.
You rang? Been at Newark Tractor Show so missed this. The FHK had the underfloor engine Dave, the 100, 140 etc after the model code was the payload in cwt’s ie 100 = 5 tons, 140 = 7 tons etc etc. Decent trucks for the price, the later model’s suffered with cooling problems but I worked on them for eight years or so and had no real problems. The pic is an FFK, the FH’s had the starting handle hole beneath the radiator grille.
Hi, jimbob11 i think you will find your truck is a FFk 140, it will have a 5.1 vertical 6cyl BMC diesel engine and been able to carry approx 7 tons. Regards. Mikky.
Only just spotted this thread so apologies if I am repeating something already posted.
Many, many, years ago I worked for a firm who had a couple of lorries with those cabs, but it was what was inside the cabs that was different. One had a normal engine hump, as you would expect, but the other had a flat floor. This was apparently because it had an inclined engine. What a good idea I always thought in later years when trying to sleep across a bloody great lump in much posher wagons.
