Volvo 860??
Heres 1 of our Volvo fuel tankers.Mid 1970`s i think,860???We have 2 of these.I`m not sure if they are converted dumpers or purpose built as tankers.I know early last year they removed the dumpbody off an early A25D & sent it away for conversion.I have driven this tanker on a huge site we used to work on in Portishead.It was more confortable on site than the A20 & A35C i was on at the time!It has a steering columb gear change.The only trouble was its only 6x4,so had to watch we did`nt get it stuck

Re: Volvo 860??
Although a lot of conversions were made from ageing dumpers the Volvos were available as a 'Terain Chassis' without the dump body, they were then numbered 860TC, 861TC etc.
These were used in the UK for refuse container handling, tankers, pipeline shot-blast and welding units, timber transporters (the Forestry Commision had them in Norfolk), and as the basis for concrete mixers.

Re: Volvo 860??
i think the machine in the top pic was converted to a tanker , i drove it once on fuel duties back in 87 during the construction of A303 ilminster bypass, my main drive was a 5350 till a new E reg A20 came along could never get the hang of those 861's although kelston was still running some real dog eared 860's as well
