I now recall it had a Foden-gearbox and other boxes thicked
This Volvo ticks all the boxes although it is a Fuller 10 speed. VNL42
@Robert: in relation to your earlier assumption on SA401…but only with day-cab…
GAZSA401 showed a STIRLANDS restored, though RHD, so possibly …?

Here is my evidence for LHD SA 401s, A-J (below). They are all day cabs originally for the military. Unless someone has refitted one with a sleeper cab and converted that cab to LHD I think we’ll have to draw a blank on this one. Shame really, because I reckon they would have made good long-haulers! Robert
I agree, regrettably, a very nice truck.
Well, with the ■■■■■■■■■■■■■ close to me, what about:
HAYES HD33
REO DCL633D/DCL733D
DODGE LN-1000
FREIGHTLINER WFT63/WFT75/WFT81
HENDRICKSON BD410F/BD420F
Hey Robert, You have created a very closed market,I even have to shorten my favorite gearbox for you 
Only the forty feet trailers can I deliver and as fridge,( but not allowed by the severe Robert law),
Pitty it’s a very well payed work, About 50P/Mile.
Pick up the trailers at Silvertown ( UCC ) already loaded with meat for the army in Norway.
Return load at Volvo Sweden for Volvo Portugal.
Retuen load in nortern Spain fresh fish and swap the trailers again at Silvertown.
Full CMR assurance required, and driver who can manage to do two round trips a month.
Eric,

By the way, I saw your PM, will answer though

Hey, Of the family Maes Lichtervelde (Emiel) a bit like the vanneste family, four companies in Lichtervelde
and two depots at Tournai. Only two survived today because of setbacks and one bankruptsy.
Colours lived on of this by different companies even in Poland and Greece.
Today you will only see them in preservation.
And here Lambrecht ex Den Hartogh.
We are going astray of the severe Robert law.

Hee-hee, nice work by the sound of it! The dreaded ‘Robert law’ gets even tighter now, as any ‘Yankee truurk’ should be presented in cabover (coe) form, if I am to get out of the yard! Robert 
Well I’m of down the road in my hired series 1 F12 Globbie as the ■■■■■■■ powered Sed Atki wouldn’t start. Really nice gearbox in the Volvo as well.
■■■■■■■ powered trucks I have driven are as follows:
currently… Kenworth K108 that I drive ( there is an engine size badge on the cab and I climb past it at least 8 time a day but I never take any notice of it) I was told that it’s 570 bhp so it can meet the new regs of 10 hp per ton. Fuller gear box Rockwell axle. It is a coe but it’s right hand drive.
I had a Magnum with a ■■■■■■■ in it, it was gutless, again a Fuller box and Rockwell axles.
Scania 143 with a 14 ltr ■■■■■■■ and a 9 speed Fuller, Kirkstal diffs. It was quite rapid and easily do 1000k per night.
Iveco Euro Tec 14 ltr ■■■■■■■ Fuller road ranger. The gear lever bracket on the top of the engine broke of and shattered the fan on the first trip. so I didn’t get much of a feel for it, how ever for the short time i had it, it didn’t seem to mind hills to much.
Iveco Euro Star 14 lt ■■■■■■■ Fuller road range, Rockwell diffs, it didn’t like being at the front of a triple road train, but running a single trailer @ 41 tons it was fairly lively.
Volvo FH ■■■■■■■ signature Fuller road ranger, Kirkstall diffs, OH YEH BABY TICK MY BOXES…unfortunately it had a speed limiter in it which was set to 110kph.
Australian Atki 420 ■■■■■■■ 9 speed Fuller. Rockwell diffs. If you can’t say anything nice don’t say anything at all. I did Newcastle Adelaide and back in one hit as didn’t want to sleep in the &^%*&*ing thing. Glad to get out at the end of the trip. However they did a great service for many people back in the day…
They were of course all right hand drive.
Jeff…
Not thought about expansion and a bigger yard when the new operation shows sound profits?
Think of the attached, hence COE! Food for thought and all with ■■■■■■■ and Fullers
And the Dodge LN-1000…
Yard’s big enough, but outside the gate I’ll be over length!!! I looked at hundreds and hundreds of American COEs online, but none fitted my description. Robert

Yes. The Volvo engine is a ■■■■■■■■ Here is the link to the auction site; it seems to be going cheap.
Nice! Robert 
Ford transcontinental?

Ford transcontinental?
You’re dead right of course. There have GOT be examples of the Transcon out there but I cannot find any LHD ones with 9-speed Fullers, only 13-speed!

Hey, Must have a look in my brochures of the first Transcon, think they annonced the Super 252 engine 15 litre
with an 9 speed or it was a Spicer ■■? (or maybe the clutch was Spicer) ■■?
Shall have a look next week.
But if one was sold here ■■? in the beginning it were nearly all NTC 310 and 340’s here.
Wouldn’t it be interesting to put a thread on site to see every ones fantasy fleet, they ever dreamed from
in the good old days.
