Crunch

Post #1 by Jeremy Rowland » Wed Nov 21, 2007 9:34 pm

Hi to all,

Just a few pics from my days on the spanners, the owner of the company I used to work for regularly bought smashed trucks to either re-build or break for spare parts.
Here is a Seddon Atkinson 401 that was originally operated by Goodyear tyres that has seen better days :lol:
I was told the driver got out alive but find this hard to believe, I did manage to open the drivers door with the aid of a crowbar :dizzy:
The vehicle was powered by a Cummins NT240 turbo engine, had a Fuller nine gearbox and a Seddon RA57 rear axle. :ugeek:
