Jack Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 I have to ask....why do you want one of those...?

Great War truck Posted July 14, 2010 Share Posted July 14, 2010 Surely they must be the same ones that were in W&T nearly 20 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JIM GILMORE Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 The photo of the Autocar with two tanker trailers is VERY interesting ...... We have at our shop two Autocar tractors with FA-2 refueling trailers and a dolly like the on in the photo. These vehicles were never modified and had all their canvas and even the tool kits in them. They are on the "to be restored" list.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM GILMORE Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Here's a shot of Sven Johnson's International tractor moving one of the trailers around the yard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIM GILMORE Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 And a couple of photos of how they looked when almost new...(note white numbers...indicates they have been repainted) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You trying to stir up an international "incident" here or what, Jim? :-D Not that we Brits would stoop so low as downright jealousy.....:banghead: :banghead: :nono: The truck and trailer look just wonderful - what fortune to drop onto these outfits in such condition!

JIM GILMORE Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 Oh, I just realized...I did not show the other tanker trailer....Here's a shot if it as we found it "in the barn" and one of the tractors "sleeping" in a shed...And, although not Autocar related ....two photos of a 600 gallon trailer that came with the trucks. Note the stencil..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smithy Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Just been going through some old picture albums and found this shot of an Autocar that was at the 2005 Great Dorset Steam Fair. It was actually on the road making section of the show, but I have never seen it anywhere again. At least you know there is another one in the country somehwere Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 Nice picture, Smithy. That is the very similar Federal 94x34, same as the one Antony on here is restoring from Beke's yard in Paris. An original 10 or 12T trailer too. Was it in post war civvy markings? (cannot make out detail on red signwriting). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An original 10 or 12T trailer too. Was it in post war civvy markings? (cannot make out detail on red signwriting). Cheers. No all that was on the side of it, if I remember correctly, was a sticker saying something like, "The Great Dorset Road Builders". I should imagine it proved to be a pretty good tea hut, but like I say I have never seen it again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian Barrell Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 That's a K-78 radar trailer, I had the remains of one but in much worse condition than that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antony Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 Nice picture, Smithy. That is the very similar Federal 94x34, same as the one Antony on here is restoring from Beke's yard in Paris. An original 10 or 12T trailer too. Was it in post war civvy markings? (cannot make out detail on red signwriting). As N.O.S says, I have 94x43 from Bekes yard, but it is missing both doors, the rear mudguards, the right hand floor plate, the engine cover, and both side plates described in the TM as ' cab skirt opening door ', the fuel tank, the tool box, etc. I would be very keen to find another 94x43 to get measurements to make the missing parts, I have been and seen another one in Kent, which has been knocked about a bit, but is it possible to find the one Smithy photographed, anyone please?
