Thanks to Lawrence Dunbar and DEANB for the pics
with regard to the “F86” Dean I thought the rad grille was out of place and belonging to an 88 or 89, I surmised it was LHD, I don’t doubt your better knowledge. Dave Fawcett is pretty well genned up on models/marques etc and went along with the picture caption. Did a bit of googling and found another one.
OilyI have just googled it as well Oily, and i have never seen one like it before ?
I can only think it has a F86 engine in it but its an
F88/89 cab which has been modified. Strange looking motor so i will have to see if i can find out more ?
Can only think it was specifically built for Portugal but i cant understand why ? They built a thinner one for the Swiss market due to
width laws.Another one Dean, again thanks to Dave Fawcett with the info EO.11.26 Volvo (1965-78) F86 .
Seen 5.3.99 Olivera de Azemeis . Fitted with Volvo D70 engine
Oily
Yes i saw that one when i looked yesterday Oily. I have contacted Volvo in Sweden to see if they can give us an answer.
I think they called it the F86 rather than F88 as the TD 70 E you menioned above was the engine fitted in the F86.
The only thing i can think of is that is was built by a truck builder under some sort of license agreement possibly a bit like
Leyland and other manufacturers used to do, and was fairly common in the 70’s.
Its funny what still turns up with different trucks !
Will let you know if i get a reply from Volvo.

One for the tipper boys with strong arm muscles, Buzzer
Looks like a conversion. What was the gross weight of such a truck. 20 tons? Thanks.
This Portugese F 86 was built by Auto-Sueco ( the importer ) in the Porto suburb un the 70th. Rights and taxes were high so country labour and value decrease them, that explains this angular cab, you could see the same with N 7/10 cabs. The F 86 had the engine under the cab which allowed 3 seats and more space than in a F 88/89.
Here a N 720 with Auto-Sueco cab.

Hi Dean, The number plate looks like it is from Latvia. Lorries from Latvia, Lithuania,
and Estonia are seen quite often in the UK now. Cheers, Ray.Yeah spot on Ray the fella was from Latvia and he had bought that F86 off the Swiss army. I think it was 35 years old and he
use to go all over Europe in it.oiltreader:

It’s a MoAZ Dean, parent company BelAZ of Belarus.
Another example, MoAZ Scraper.

Portuguese Volvo F86, thanks to Dave Fawcett, LHD only with this cab I guess.
OilyThat F88 has had some cosmetic work done to it Oily.
Pretty sure its RHD even though its Portuguese.
F86
Heres a nice F89.

From the position of the wipers and knee level mirror that Portuguese Volvo looks to be LHD.,!
Long wheelbase to haul hay FB 86.

Slowly succumbing to nature,
A Dodge 101C with a livestock body, which i was informed by the,then,owner
had previously been mounted on a 1937 Reo…
Not the best shots of this Chevy,but I was leaving a local garden centre when I spotted it.
I took the opportunity to snap it as we “oldies” are going into lockdown for a short 
while. Stay safe. Regards Kev.

It’s an early 1930s Mammoth, the short radiator enables me to date it to then, and the Mammoth was a heavy duty rigid, and rarely back then, tractive unit. From the wheelbase it looks as if it was originally a rigid. The front part of the cab as far as the doors looks original; the rear part is non-original. When built this Mammoth probably had a petrol engine, no doubt it would have been re-engined with either an AEC 8.8 litre diesel, or a 7.7 litre diesel. It’s certainly an interesting lorry.
The tie rails would suggest it is in Australia.

My thinking there Oily, That and the n/s high mounted searchlight,(too big to call a spot light)
would certainly suggest somewhere far from UK shores!!

In fact, I immediately thought of Autralia. Perhaps loaded with sacks of grain (wheat?) from a thresing machine? A good load for a 100 bhp engine!
