It may have been Ford starting the process of getting out of commercial, industrial and agricutural products?

Some great early 20th Century photos there Steve. Any idea of locations?

The tyres might have been 7.50 16 and a land rover wheel might fit.

Spot the Chaseside!

Thanks Steve for all your uploads over the year.

Yes, I think you are right!

Just need to get that printed on a T shirt for management to wear.

Don't see tippers that big on 4 axles, never mind 3. The red Leyland Reiver 6 down , agree it is enormous, maybe some photo edit trickery but nothing else looks stretched and why ? Craig I reckon at 24'x7'6"x3' is best part of 20cuYd if my guesstimations are right. Very odd length for a 6 whee...

Thanks as ever Jeremy and Happy Christmas to you, Holger and all the regulars that keep this site ticking over.

A proper eclectic mix in that photo as well. Looks like the very late 50s or very early 60s?
