Hi Gunnerheskey,
Iām sure our paths must have crossed too. They did have the 6 x 4ās, in fact that was the wagon Stodge drove for years as he used to tow the really heavy loads around the country. When I was about 10 or 11, I would often go with him if he was ālocalā. I even got to drive it a couple of times too. (Well, sit on his knee and steer !). Not on the road though. Great fun.Cheers for now,
Dave
Didnāt Pickfords also have a couple of āJumboā MAN tractor units as well in the early 80ās?

Thatās a real nice set up ,looks like barn doors too ticks all my boxes.
Re Gloversā¦Trevor Glover was a driver at whitwick granite company with my dad. In 1959 he bought his first lorry a brand new Leyland comet cab over over 4 wheel tipper it had an eaton 2 speed axle and went very fast for the time. However Trevor wasnāt happy with the brakes which were not air so he sold it quickly and bought a 4 wheeler foden he remained a foden fan for the rest of the life of the business. I lost contact with Trevor in the 1970 s when I left first for Bermuda and then on to Canada. His fleet was up to about 8 lorries I think .He moved out of quarry work and went onto scrap and coal haulage. He passed on a few years back.
that was my lorry for 8 months C92 JW Pallets
