Thread: Interesting, Odd or Funny Pics II.

It does look pretty "Snazzy" But not a good idea for my D2 as that much weight up top would probably crush the roof

Lifted from another forum, I frequent. Imagine getting this through all the VSBs of today. Two-up would also be interesting.

These are a couple of pics of my Dad's AEC taken 6 years ago (I believe it is now restored). He built this truck in the late 50's and it has the sleeper in front of the driver. I don't know his reasoning for doing this but it had the added value of creating a long sunvisor thus enabling late driving into the sun. Other oddities with this truck are the fact that he made the cabin with the front and back sections of a bus that was cut in half by a train in a level crossing accident in Horsham in 1951. Also, the drive line included a gun carrier 2 speed transfer case mounted at the rear of the chassis (see second pic). Drive was via tailshaft to the transfer case and then forward again via short tailshafts to the two Blitz diffs.
