Will try and dig some more out, those F86's looked like a mouse pulling a brick with a 40' box van behind them but pull they would

I never drove one, but was told they were great little trucks.

I drove a 1984 F6 a few times and that was a cracking little lorry.

When I first started I drove an F86 4-wheeler that was originally a drawbar unit. Even with a big Thornes aluminium livestock body it flew but max was about 52mph

The truck I drove was an aggregate tipper so short and low, but was fully grossed most loads and went very well

It's everybody. You have to right click then "open image in new tab". I had to ask long time ago.

I always get the actual photos on their first post, but if anyone quotes that post I only get numbers.

Dad had a fleet of them back in the day. Guys used to spend all week out in them, one complaint was if the window was open, the cutting edge aerodynamics were such that passing flies were mortally wounded but not splattered on the windscreen, instead coming to rest on the bed.

Chap I do some work for has purchased this.
She's not the prettiest but is good enough.

It's been in Heartbeat a couple of times, once as a sheep rustlers wagon and last time as a brewery wagon, as seen by its current livery.

I'm just fixing a few leaks and niggles on it.

Do you still own this vehicle?

There’s still a Forster gear jamming around St. Helen’s, with an agricultural persuasion.

Any relation?
