Dont know where it is now Tevor Davies also in the early days ran a longwheel base Bedford TK tipper i think was ex Llandeilo Builders Merchants Phill Marks is first lorry with Trevor Davies who was also an agricultural merchant as well as haulage contractor

Hello ianto ,thanx for reply ,do you remember the Jones’s from Broadoak Carmarthen ,they had T45 Roadtrains hauling out of Alcoa Gowerton ? .Wondered what had happened to them .
Hey DEAN ,those Owens pics were awesome ! those Atkis with the single axel trailers hauled seat frames to Longbridge and Cowley 24/7 with W Morgan (who you have featured ) from Ystradgynlais doing the same work with drivers in Hay on Wye and Talgarth .
Dont think you have posted DM Davies Dryslwyn Carmarthen before ,that SedAtk did a lot of animal feed between BOCM Carmarthen and Liverpool docks ,as i say DEAN awesome stuff thanx a bunch ,MT

[smallcoal]

Morning Dean,the hoyer Volvo ,looks like one of m bevans scania behind him also look in the back by the shops looks like a Bedford tow truck

[deanb]

tastrucker:
hello DEAN ,and thank you for another Caddies ,truth to tell im not sure myself whether they had any F12 Volvos ,will have to do a little detective work for you .
They did have one F89 that was lhd ,thank you Trevor

I have seen pics of the F89 i wonder why they only bought one. Pretty sure they never had F12’s as i dont ever recall seeing one. Big fleet of F10’s FL10’s.

bluenosebulls:
Good day all, Im still trying to search for any pictures of Cadbury’s crumb transporters from the 1990’s which im still certain they used volvo fl10’s but i am starting to doubt, as i am drawing a complete blank, ive seen the pictures of the roadtrain and bedford pictures, they are not dissimulator, im sure they ran tri axle versions. Or even who would of had the distribution contract during the 90’s. thanks

I will have a word with Paul and see if he has any.

tastrucker Caddy was great mates with Jim Rawlings of A.S.Rawlings from Alton and they ran lots of F89’s so may be it was Jim who influenced the buy or maybe second hand from ASR. those two used to go on holiday together to the USA and Jim told me one day that Caddy would try and barter the price even in a diner and when they hired a car he wanted a cheap version but Jim said we are on our hols lets have a Cadillac, cheers Buzzer

Here’s an axle set up I’ve not seen before Dean , last week in South Korea.

[erf-ngc-european]

Yes ^^^ there were some of these around Dean. It appears to be a Merc NG 1617 (or perhaps a 1619) day-cabbed 24-tonner with a (probably Primrose conversion) lift-axle. The lifts were certainly around in the late '70s. Robert

Hello DEAN ,F R Chetwynd were from Llanarth near Aberaeron ,they were hide and skin merchants ,hauling them to Spain for the leather industry ,not sure if the are still in business , Ianto will probably know .
Enjoying the currant South Wales scene Paul is providing ,thanx MT

[dog_tired]

Dean…The white MAN with the block trailer on the previous page is I think Evans Transport after taking over Frank Tucker
and the trailer is a ex Tuckers, it does look the right colour.
Also their dealership changed from ERF to MAN.
Cheers Norman.

Looks like the back axle steers and possibly lifts Cliff. I wonder what the gross weight is for that motor in South Korea ?

Remember them now “MT” .Lots used to go out through Poole. I am sure there was another large skin merchant in Wales that used to
send them to Spain as well.
