1955 Foden Eight Wheeler

This has got to be one of the most desirable vintage trucks. A complete goer at a terrific price. Pity I am not closer to WA!

Reminiscent of what something Bell Bros would've operated, if not one of theirs after all.

Also could have been Australian Blue Metal (ABM) and I think Rhodes had a few too

Bells had a lot more ERF’s than Fodens

Lang I know a bloke, we could arrange delivery.

I would love it but 60kmh for 4,000km might be a bit much for my attention span. That is eight days driving at 10 hours a day! I had the same model 6 wheeler fuel tanker but it had the slow diffs and 50kmh flat out - I am presuming this one has the "fast" back end?

Mine was the twin brother to this bloke. Just love that Gardner engine but hate the governor which shuts everything down at 28 mph preventing a run up to any rise.
