buzzer yes its crazy across the usa one thing it is not and thats united .everyday you hear the c.b. rambos ranting /raving slagging eachother off.because there not from the same state .and the trucks/trls bigger than ours but max weight in usa is only 80/000lbs very racist country.good and bad everywhere i geuss
Buzzer:
Reading this all about different length’s of permitted rigs in the USA I cannot get my head round this, what I mean is that the USA stands for the United States of America right yet there are different rules for different states and the same goes for the death penalty over there so how come the country is so called as to someone like me looking in you may as well be in a different country when you enter each state and the same goes for weights as well, very confusing to an outsider.
Always remember that Portugal used to be red hot on overall length of an outfit and I believe Germany also and the penalties were harsh too, even for two or three inches over the mark, cheers Buzzer.
Another shot from above, L reg Reiver at far end mine for a while. Dixons very similar colour to them

It’s hard to imagine that was the main route NW/SE for countless motors. For me mid 70s leave Ashby n a 2hr drive up it for M6 n Glasgow.
Nice to rest the clutch leg on the motorway next stop breakfast Carlisle

Hi John, Definitely an IH Internatial Harvester, A company in or near Accrington had
many of them, so they were a regular sight in the North West in the early 1970s.
I believe they were powered by the IH358 engine, which I seem to remember was
also fitted to the Seddon Atkinson 200 Series 16 Ton rigids.
Regards, Ray Smyth.
As Oily says, it is (was) an International Harvester. Bradley of Accrington and Weston-super-Mare used to operate a fair sized fleet many years ago, used to see them up and down the M6/M5 regularly in the 70s. Lightweight lorries and not very fast, as I recall.
