    P.S. you see what we meant about the state of it now!

    Hello Mike - I think its hiding joints in the panels, my assumption is water off of the screens rotted the curved panel and bits underneath, and it was the easiest way to make a running repair by cutting the damaged section off and replacing the curved panel with wood! Was very nice to meet you the other day! R

    Just re-looking at these pictures on here and the numerous ones I've taken of my truck, quite a lot of the cab has definitely been re-paneled as I haven't got the Air Vents at the front corners of the cab, and the top below the windows where the nice curved panel should be is non-exsistant. I presume the cabs were prone to rotting from where the water comes down off of the windscreens and sits and collects.

    Ever had any urge to draw an FWD Sucoe Gun Tractor?
  6. Russ1988
    I've Pm'd you Mike, not sure if its worked though! Have you done anything with the FWD yet?

    http://cdm15847.contentdm.oclc.org/cdm/singleitem/collection/p15847coll3/id/1942/rec/17 That picture confirms. You can just make out the number plate and the name Monty under the screens

    My dad remembers the scrap yard! Long since gone isn't it? Be very interesting to know if they are still around anywhere....did they run do you know? Where did you get the picture from? Cheers
  14. Russ1988
    I hadn't thought about that - a bit of research on the cards
  15. Russ1988
    Extremely interested in this last post - Cottenham is only 3 miles from where I live! Any one any more info on what happened to these two trucks? Cheers
  16. Russ1988
    Cheers chaps
  17. Russ1988
    Does anyone know if this one advertised ever got sold?
  18. Russ1988
    Thanks for the replies Another question now, I gather that the lever on the right hand side of the steering column below the wheel is for applying the trailer brakes, the other side of the steering column I have something else sort of similar - refer to pics - anyone any idea what it is? Sorry if i'm being stupid!

    Mmmm i'd like to keep mine original when I ever do anything with it. Someone put a link on here about 10months ago to a link for 2 Waukesha SRKR engines, which the FWD's are. I'm currently persuing them as mine - due to the elements and sitting outside for 20years or so - has probably seen better days! What would you do with your petrol lump when you get round to the conversion? Cheers
  20. Russ1988
    Did you ever do the engine conversion on this truck?
  21. Russ1988
    Is that for a FWD Sucoe or AEC Matador?
  22. Russ1988
    Im afraid my FWD Sucoe hasnt moved in the last 7/8 years and the cab is getting to a very very sorry state! Sorry I can't be of any use
  23. Russ1988
    Interestingly, that is the ONLY picture i've ever seen of the Preslands FWD. Must have been very, very camera shy which is a shame!
  24. Russ1988
    Very very interested in this thread! I (me and my dad) have its partner in crime, a FWD Sucoe, which was owned and operated by the same Presland and Sons Company. Its in a similar state of repair and needs a lot of love and attention, as well as a new cab! Have you any other history on either the truck or the Showmans its signwritten in? Be interesting to know more. More pictures would be good too, did you get it running? At what stage of restoration are you now? Intrigued and very interested, Russ
  25. Russ1988
    The very clear 'Canadian FWD' picture posted by Les Freathy, can anyone shed any light on whether ALL built SuCoe's would have had the two little half moon things on the rear tailgate? What are they for? Thanks
