snowtracdave Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Not Mack AC ( :goodidea:), but quite right about the chain drive. Well spotted.

Jack Posted August 29, 2007 Author Share Posted August 29, 2007 Tim - is the same as the one at your Fathers house :dunno: I am sure I walked into one right next to the back door. :dunno: God bless Mrs GWT snr. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 (edited) Gosh sorry, i forgot all about this thread. Other distractions. Very good guesses indeed. But Jack has guessed it, it is a "I am sure i walked into one" WW1 Peerless truck, with another one balanced on top. Which looks a little like this one that we recovered earlier: Interesting to hear your thoughts that it might be a steam lorry, as the guy who owns these is rebuilding one (a Hinley i think it was) and needed a chassis so he acquired these two, but they really are quite different so are surplus to requirements. A bit sad but i expect that they will eventually end up as scrap. Such is life. Tim (too) Edited May 31, 2008 by Marmite!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Well done Jack. You will want to buy one soon. Incidentally i know where there is a WW1 Liberty B for sale. Take a look at http://www.imageevent.com/oldjeeps and scroll down past all the Jeeps, Dodges and Internationals that have been pulled out of barns and are up for sale, as i am sure that no one is interested in those and you will find a Liberty for sale. A snip at £3,000! OK it needs a new exhaust pipe and steering wheel, but it is mostly all there. Actually there are loads of interesting and unusual WW2 US trucks for sale on that link. Well worth a look. You cant cut and paste the pictures though as the vendor has deactivated the right click, although he will sell the pictures to you!

Simon Daymond Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 There's a chap in the Bedford area restores old buses, Mike Sutcliffe, do you know of him Great War Truck? He has loads of contacts for old wheels, parts etc. It's years since I last spoke to him, but he's a helpful fella. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great War truck Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 Yes we know Mike very well. He put us onto the Dennis diff which was very good of him. He has some fantastic early Leyland busses which really are quite something. He also has a WW1 RAF Leyland to restore which would be really nice to see. In fact i think that he is coming down to Devon in a couple of weeks to see the trucks. All the best Tim (too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Daymond Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 great stuff. Mention me to him if you would, Simon who used to work at the transport museum in Bradford, and used to own a Todmorden Leopard (he'll know what you mean!) When you see pictures of some of the stuff he drags out of hedges, then see them finished, it does make you wonder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Tim (too) Would of thought it would be Royal Flying Corp rather than RAF, not impossible though, RAF was formed 1 April 1918 so the war had a few months to run.

Great War truck Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hi Adam You are quite right. During the war all of the Leyland trucks were referred to as "Heavy Tenders". The term RAF Leyland was not really applied until the end of the war when they were all rebuilt at the Leyland factory. Very interesting article that. I will study that in detail later on.
