Might not be too bad with enough cheese.

I believe there were a fleet of 6 ton dropsides on aluminium delivery work. They looked a bit like overgrown Morris pick-ups, with a curved gusset on the front of the body.

My FiL drove three wheel Scammels, not sure when, but he was runner-up to UK Lorry Driver of the Year in '62. He drove a Bedford artic then.

Evening all, don't get up, sorry, very remiss of me to barge in like that, forgot me manners.
