Welcome. You have an interest in vehicles built during one of the most interesting periods of the 20th century. Cab design changing from the most rudimentary examples to safe work places Fuels being developed. Engine power outputs climbing combined with increased reliability combustion processes developing.Bearing materials improving. Engines and vehicles going from individual builds to production line assembly. Brake and Drive train advances,Constant mesh, synchronized meshing, pre selector and automatic gearboxes all making debut and finding there place. Portal axles banjo and split examples. Exposed and enclosed propeller shafts, layrope couplings and various examples styles of spider couplings. Chassis shape and materials developing All wheel drive with various suspension methods. Cart spring, independent,torsion bar. Tyres and Tracks developing Not to mention articulation starting to become common place. All produced by a myriad of companies both home grown and overseas. Mostly consigned to history. Which is where this site finds its place.
