Only concern we had bringing it back was the overall height once on James' truck. It seems bridges in Netherlands are a standard 4m high, and when we measured the Chev its top pulleys were 4.1m! So we let the air out of the tyres and didn't hit anything that we were aware of.

Do you have any info about the contract that this truck came from? I've posted the number from the dash top data plate at the start of the thread.
Thanks
Hi John,
Hendrik mentions contract SM6056 which was for UK and for 86 Breakdowns, census numbers L5847850 to 5847937, think that prefix should have been H, but have notice mistakes like this in other places in Chilwell list. There was another British contract, SM2580 or census numbers 6251283 to 6251291. No other details though.

Dutch bridges are lowest in Europe and cause a lot of problems for abnormal load transporters.

cheers Richard
