The trailer was a tandem with a crane frauhauf u shape body ,the steel body was built and fitted by Trent Bodies ,my dad cut the axles off ,added a 3 rd axle and reset the spaceing for 38 tonne operation,the marathan ended up at Harpur Hill at Eric Williams ,although I think a lot of the bits where used by Naylers from bakewell on their Red marathan.
Anyone recognise this ode lad ?
Looks like a punishment vehicle .
It was up at Hindlow not so long ago. Have you bought it ?

A well looked after vehicle during it’s road going years and a nice drive too. It can be seen below parked amongst its more modern siblings

Great photo of the Dodge John, I notice it has 10 stud wheels on the front axle, I wonder what engine it had in, A Leyland perhaps ■■, The one I drove just had 8 studs & had a Perkins 6354 Engine, Regards Larry.
My Dad had one with 10 stud wheels Larry(thats how I know its a D309 and not the D308 which had the 8 studs) and his had the Leyland 370 engine fitted cracking motor in its day.
A few of Beeson & Sons of Hadfield nr Glossop.Look like they have done their graft and now finished with ,all parked in the yard just waiting for someone to save them and restore. (I wonder)The ERF & Leyland Constructor are both tippers,The DAF 85 looks like it may have had a tipper body fitted at one time,not sure though.
