Put this gal on the Foden topic but no comments. Does anyone know what’s what? Cheers Coomsey
It has some of the appearance of those Australian Atkis that mainly Shell ran on roadtrains. Locally built plastic cabs, and in those days there were a lot of Fodens in Oz, particularly the Northern Territory, but I never saw one like this.
Oops, once again missed a page , I see others have had the same idea and, according to Oily’s link to Hank’s, the date may have been around early 70s, so a bit after my time there.

I’m struggling to fathom out how anyone with short legs would climb into that cab without doing themselves a serious mischief in a sensitive part of their body.

Hi Harvey, quite a while back I posted some pics of similar gas powered wagons, they were in Thailand or Indonesia and I think mebbe Hinos. The cylinder cluster looks interchangeable.
Couple of F88s for you.

Thanks Oily, God, I remember those “■■■ dispencers” on the roof of the cabs, made by Hatcher Componants.
However big the washers were inside the cab holding the Bl***y thing on they still let water creep in. And then there is the 290 day cab, to much !!! back to bed, cheers mate, Harvey
Wedding day transport for my eldest daughter, she decided as she’s grown up with the lorry in her life & it has her grandad’s name on the door who died last year, there would be no better way to travel to church.

Nice. And I take it the organist didn’t need to play “here comes the bride” so the congregation knew she’d arrived!

What a wonderful wedding march.One thing certain the guests would know when the Bride arrived at the church !!! and of course on time.Did you let here drive as you wouldn’t want to get your hands covered in paint after the beautiful paint job.

No Tony, I was the chauffer, we only polished it & re-attached the nearside wing, it’s not turned a wheel in 5 years but I put a battery on, bled the diesel up as it had run back a bit & it cracked into life straight away. I was out in the garage at 6.30 on Tuesday morning with the air polisher & a can of T cut making the roof shine again.

My dad would have been proud of the whole day.

That’s good.Hope you checked the brakes as you didn’t want to ZOOM past the church.
, I see others have had the same idea and, according to Oily’s link to Hank’s, the date may have been around early 70s, so a bit after my time there.
