I can almost make the pictures out, still kinda small

The Huck bolts are okay and I have fooled with various different styles of them
I think most manufacturers use them today to hold their chassis together or at least most Yanky based trucks do

There is a proper end for most style of Huck bolts that cuts or breaks the rivit but most people know another way or invent one when needed

Non comprendez the hurdle amigo . . .

It appears to be resting against the (inverted?) tray which is sitting on a trailer?

PDU
You got it in one, photo taken to show new steel chassis rails, since then, flipped tray over so right side up, put the hurdle back on next job, just gotta get the checker plate sized abd welded on, next cupla days!

That is one nice restoration. Be interesting to know what he really wants for it.

Very tidy unit!
A bit earlier than mine, split screen moel, makes a bloke want to get his finger out and do a bit!

I think there might be an extra zero for the 20 years ago cost.

What’s the difference between a Gamecock and a Bantam?

The Bantams had 13 inch wheels and the Gamecock had 16 inch wheels. I think engines were different . Gamecock Humber Snipe 6 Cylinder and Bantam Humber Hawk 4 cylinder. Both were offered with Perkins diesels.

Gamecock

Gamecock E-series 3–4 ton 6-cylinder (1950–)Gamecock 14 seat coach and ambulance (1954–)Karrier-Walker 12 seat bus (1958–)Karrier-Dennis Ambulance (1962–)Ramillies refuse collector (1962–)Karrier ice cream van (c.1962)

Bantam

Bantam 50cwt (1933–34, 36–40)Bantam RSC road sweeper-collector (1933–39)Bantam F-series 2–3 ton (1948–63)Bantam FA-series 3–5 ton (1948–63)Bantam 4–5 ton tractor (1956–)Bantam tipper (1958–)Bantam FB-series 3 ton (1972–)



The Karrier Bantam, a Commer/Rootes Group product , enjoyed a very long production period. After the war the small lorry was fitted with a version of the steel cab that was employed across the range of lorries produced by Commer/Karrier at the time. By the early 60s the split-windscreen had given way to a one-piece version. Power for the Bantam was either a petrol engine from the group's Humber Hawk or a bought-in 4-cylinder diesel unit from Perkins of Peterborough. AFAIK both 4.206 and 4.236 versions were employed by the end of production in the early 1980s.
