Mo Green Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 How can you tell the age of a Thornycroft lorry chassis, it’s at least 90 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mo Green Posted September 25, 2019 Author Share Posted September 25, 2019 The chassis was used as part of a holiday chalet. The top windows very much like the windows on the red vehicle. The number shown is marked on the chassis but is not completely clear. The vehicle was placed sometime between the WW1 and 2. Any info would be appreciated, thank you , Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Ah, the Bridgnorth Thorny J Type. That one has been on here before. The garden was looking a little better in those days though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nz2 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Where is the location of the stamped number you have shown? Are there any numbers on the front of the chassis , left hand side above the front spring mount? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bill Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 What is the story here, Mo? Do you have any plans for it? If you can show a pic of the inside of the front dumb irons that would show whether it is early or late war. Another clue would be the bolt holes for the gearbox in the subframe. Four in a square pattern would be earlier than two about a foot apart one side and only 4" apart on the other. There seems to have been a sudden spate of Thorny J's in the last few years. You are in good company here! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
