Boley Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Hi everyone, I purchased a Thornycroft 6x4 10 ton Big Ben and I am currently restoring it. I seen the same truck mentioned in a previous post. Its an ex military truck converted to civilian use and dates around the mid 1950's although I have a letter from leyland saying it was early 40's. It has a few minor issues, cracked block and cracked radiator. It would be great to get lots of information on this model or the Big Ben in general. I also have acquired some manuals and would be happy to share them. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john1950 Posted April 25, 2018 Share Posted April 25, 2018 I remember an advert years ago for a Big Ben Sandmaster with a pipe trailer, working in the desert on oil production. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boley Posted April 25, 2018 Author Share Posted April 25, 2018 Good place for it as according to the drivers manual the 11.3 petrol engine does 3.5 mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
