Kuno Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Is this an original configuration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.O.S. Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Seems to be a Swiss postwar body, as I've not seen any wartime pics like this. The "rubbish trailer" at W+P looks very much like one of these - often wondered about it's origins and this pic explains it! Thanks for posting Centi521!

Jack Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Reckon so as the spare wheel is in a different place. That bed makes the truck a real looker! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Cubed Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Also looks like the tipping gear is different from original spec, looks like a longer bed but might be an optical illusion without the mud guards. Nice looking truck though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abn deuce Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 The hoist is different from the original Heil or Garwood units as both had a single ram or cylinder and the original hoist frame was only 8' roughly of the 12' dump body as shown by the other photo's posted with the partition panel being raised inside the dump body .
