The back one looks like a Hoveringham or Dowsett one and the front one could be one of a number of companies
that operated them in that colour. Possibly Wimpey,Thomas Nicol ?

Nearly put Monday but its Tuesday of course, Buzzer

The front one could well be one of Ambrose from Chesterfield.

I have a scale model of a similar truck, registered GTM 809. So it looks the London Brick Company had bought a batch of them. Could any of you please tell me which exact model it is, Mk 2 or Mk 3, and its year of make? Thanks!

Hi Froggy.It’s a MK3 Mammoth Major and GTM was a Bedfordshire October 1948 registration. Chris.

Thanks! I must now check where Bedfordshire is. Possibly just North of London…

Is that the inside of a Kraz or some othe Soviet truck? I’d say the bigger stick is the main gearbox; second bigger the auxiliary gearbox; the two others to switch the drive of the front axle, and the last for the differential blocking.
