My father now 76 had a DAF 2800 that took him to Saudi and back in the early 70’s. He be away for six weeks at a time, he eventually worked for Ashtrans for years doing the regular middle east trips!
He had a great big aircon unit on the roof and no power steering back then!

I enjoyed the pictures of the cattle wagons. Perhaps a video devoted to them. As a schoolboy in the 1950's/60's I went for rides with a local livestock haulier. In those days the third deck for sheep was folded out as required for extra capacity. It was open topped with nothing to stop the sheep jumping over the sides although that rarely happened. The extra top weight made the wagons roll more on corners and at times was frightening. Happy days.

love seeing the old trucks again would like to see trucks used from the manufacturing side of industry from the past with their brand names on, like confectionery for instance there are so many. Cravens, Rowntrees, Terrys, Bluebird Toffees, Hussicks Toffees, Needlers of Hull, Batguers London, Sharps Toffees Maidstone, Halls of Whitfield, Maynard's Wine Gums London N4, Barratts Sweets Wood Green London N22, Caxton Chocolate London N22, Sun' dor confectionery Crawley Sussex and many more I used to drive for Maynard's and Barratts in the mid 1960's I have some photos of their trucks but they are not all good copies though

Takes me back. Signwriting those ribbed bodies was always fun!

The Leyland MARATHON, the last lorry built at AEC Windmill Lane Southall Middlesex. I can remember also whilst serving my apprenticeship during the early 1970s seeing the AEC MANDATOR V8 going out with the experimental department with huge 4 ton weights bolted on to simulate load. The V8 was still in the teething stage and needed the time (which Leyland denied) to rectify 😇

struth vosa would have a field day these days the way alot of them loads were secured,

[gary]

I am now 75 years old and I have driven most of these in the past

After holding a class 1 HGV licence for 41 years and all the crap in that time, my 2 favourite motors a 220-30 Iveco and a 143 Scania, the Iveco I did Italy and Switzerland and the 143 Scania was in the UK, the worst one was the Guy Big J, no words can describe this vehicle so the less said the better. Retired, my final motor a Scania with all the bells and whistles, took the control away from the man in the seat to a computer. The latest is cameras and not mirrors, when you have an accident, sorry looking at the screen not the road, what is the difference between using a mobile phone and looking at a screen to see what is around you, The amount of mirrors on HGV `s when I retired was seven, not sure any more .

Thats when there were Drivers and not todays Steerers.
Used to love night outing with me old fella in the 60, s n 70, s no nightheaters in them trucks

[nickwillobey]

Remember the old Leyland trucks, used to have to leave my Octopus running, cos you could never start it again!

[michaelwalker]

Cold in winter hot in summer. How eny one did trans conti work in some of those trucks back in the day is beyond me. Bad enough tramping in the UK.
