John,

This is the same seller as the Leyland at Lightning Ridge.

I am going there this weekend and will take some photos and report on the forum.

Thanks lang,

Look forward to seeing them.

John

Cheers Lang!

Come on Lang fess up are you a proud new owner of a Foden ????.

Here are the photos of the Foden. Not a wood cab but mid fifties export cab. No owner on site but reported as having a waterpump problem but otherwise a good jigger. Looked quite OK to me on a walk around but I did not give it a detailed inspection.

It is not at Lightning Ridge but a more remote opal field about 70km west. I was told there is a truck operator who works to the coast from the area.

All enquiries to the advertiser.

Doesn't get much better! What engine is fitted?

That's a reasonable price if the Foden is sound ... if no one jumps at this, how about a syndicate?


Cheers!

Engine is 6LX

Here is interior shot.

Dave,

I would love to own it. I had an airfield refueling tanker of the same model.

Unfortunately with these Fodens (but I think this tipper might have the high speed diffs) you check your speed with a calendar and I would be an old (er) man when I got back to Brisbane!
