LarryH57 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The Dennis AM30/40 cwt was built for the RAF and used in the UK during WW2. Despite it supposidely being common, I have only ever seen one clear photo of one, shown below. Do any others exist? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 I know of a few smaller Dennis wartime tipper trucks, one not a million miles from me tucked in a barn. But I haven't seen one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryH57 Posted August 17, 2023 Author Share Posted August 17, 2023 Apparently about 1,000 were made for the RAF but I guess like the Austin K2, had only a 2 ton capacity were not so good in civi life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rootes75 Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Shame really, I think they are quite nice looking trucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryH57 Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 (edited) Yes, thats a Dennis AM 30/40 cwt , and quite rare to be in the Middle East and to have a box body.. According to Bart Vanderveen, only around 1,000 were built (or nearly 1,000) So I guess it was not so useful on the civi market as a Bedford QLD Many thanks for posting Edited May 13 by LarryH57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citroman Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 (edited) My pleasure. Did find the picture on the site here. But not under the name Dennis. Edited May 14 by Citroman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
