motorpunk Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 I spotted this on my travels recently, some mystery truck in an American scrapyard. Any ideas what it might be, please? Low Horatio gearbox and Dyslexic Viking 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyslexic Viking Posted December 9, 2022 Share Posted December 9, 2022 As above, I also think it is a Dodge M37 or WC I am leaning towards M37. Low Horatio gearbox and motorpunk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nearly 19 years old and doesn’t need any repairs. She’s a minter. 👌 edit: just been for a road test…. Drives much better than a new merc atego or a bigger actros.

I had a slightly older (ex RAF) TK horsebox (with the petrol engine, pure hydraulic brakes and handbrake operated on the prop shaft - wheee!) that I sold on to a guy who did something very similar. He turned into a lovely camper (fixed luton helped ) last time I heard it was parked up near Exeter racecourse as a non-runner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martc Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Jelcz lorry, Polands finest, according to the comments accompanying this pic and translated directly from the German (this one ended up in the DDR)... 'The 'Jellineck' was also called the workshop scare' 'Rarely built but the Leyland diesel's were vile drunkards' Which I think questions a) their reliability and b) the economy of the licence built, but unpopular, Leyland diesels some were fitted with.

Vantman Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Taken during my 'relief driver' days for various local hauliers. This turned out to be a long term job for Derek Minter,a well known 1960s 'King of Brands' motor cycle racer,one of my idols. This was his newest F12 which he used to polish monthly!

Yes this VW bus story is pretty good another one that was also raised from a lake and is almost more impressive is a 1928 Scania truck that went through the ice on Swedish lake Fyken in 1936 while plowing snow. It was raised 50 years later and restored and put on the road again. It still has the original drivetrain and much was still working like the tires and even the battery! It is on display at a museum in Torsby Sweden, I have been there myself and seen it. The original body needed a lot of work so it was put on a wooden frame and preserved and the truck got a new one. Completely restored. And snow plowing on the same lake where it went through the ice. catsinthewelder, D.E, warch and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Stonefield.... but as you say the cab doesn't look quite right Here it is in action... And this is what I think a typical Stonefield should look like. I guess the chassis is the same and most of the cab, but it looks like Thames may have specified a different cab bottom and grille which gives a touch of Dennis about it. worldofceri, MiniMinorMk3, CreepingJesus and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
