Presumably that is the steering column running outside of the bonnet ?

A 24t Foden, with a Gardner 6LX 150 (later replaced with a 180) engine, a Foden 12 speed box and Foden worm and wheel drive axles. Seen here in 1980, I was 21 but looked about 16. The original wood and steel dropside body has been replaced with a second hand aluminium coal body taken from Ford D Series six wheeler. The body floor was lined with plywood and then 1/8 inch steel to withstand the heavy cast iron that it was going to tip several times a day, loaded by the AEC above. It is currently on SORN.

 

That's tidy for what would have been what, 14 years old at the time on that kind of work.
