Re: Preserved Oldies
Actually its another interesting 1970s throwback a Russian Belarus , from the days when they use to export their poor products at crazy low prices. Tinwork seemed to dissolve overnight and they had a very funny combined front drive shaft / kingpin arrangement. Looks like it may be British cab though.

Re: Preserved Oldies
A real step back of .......... bl**dy hell 35+ years. 
I suppose all those trucks are fixable with old skills providing a part can be found.
The Belarus looks like it has a Duncan cab. A truly nasty looking machine. (Sorry to any fans). A small farmer I knew had one new in the late 70s and they gave him his money back more or less to sell him a new one three years on.
