Richard Peskett Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 Daimler Y type gear box top. What is confusing is that all B & Y types part number are B .... as are the numbers on the plates. This is B3644. The picture is from Y type chassis 'Y 5257. Richard Peskett. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 Ah, that would explain where it came from. Is it the same gearbox on the CB as it is on the Y? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PITT24423 Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 The CB box is quite a bit smaller but still a heavy unit . The Y type top was with a job lot of Daimler loveliness i bought a few years ago . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foden7536 Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 What a super photo, thank you for sharing. The wagon nearest the camera is a 5 ton Foden, whilst I would say the one further away is a Clayton. The foden is similar to mine, albeit mine has (or at least should should have) a tipping body, whilst the one in the photo isn’t a tipper interestingly the Clayton has Bauly wood block wheels, but what is more intersting to me personally is how the Foden’s sheets have been pulled back against the front of the cab, I have a photo of my foden during its Devon County Council days with the sheets tied back in this manner and I assumed this was a “Devon CC thing” but seeing this makes me think that I was wrong! Thank you for posting David 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mammoth Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 So the side sheets are on curtain rails?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foden7536 Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Good morning, Ive attached a couple of images of my Foden laying out of use and it clearly shows these sheets. In the rear of my cab there are two 1/2” holes where I assume these “curtain rails” ran, the front canopy cross member has been replaced in the past so this detail has been lost, but I intend to put these back when I am at that stage of my restoration (which reminds me I really must do an update) The close up image of my wagon appears to show the rail running horizontally, and you can see the sheets hung over it at the rear. Hope these are of interest. David 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citroman Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Any idea what make this truck would be with the solid tyres? Picture taken during WW2 in a local quarry. The trailer is bringing gas for the old beast. Gas came from an coalmine in the region. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foden7536 Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Thanks for Sharing, this is the Thornycroft which is subject to a restoration thread on here started by Tomo Thompson until he sadly passed away. If I was clever I’d work out how to post a link to his blog! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
