I should be getting photos of the entries today or tomorrow so I can give you more information then

Ok, I now have photos of the requisite entries from the ARN books

171-115 is actually chassis 1142, so no hit there. 171-115 is a general serice Mk.3, made in 1965. It was sold off in 1987. I'll keep an eye out for chassis 1505 as I transcribe the Mk.3 records.

171-638 was chassis 1823. It originally had chassis 1807 and is a Mk.1 F1, or general service 5 ton truck. Looks like it was aso sold off in 1987

Hi all - before I close off this research, is there any more information out there, especially overseas action?

I've no more information than that I have already posted at this stage i'm afraid.

Bob, the ARN for this vehicle has surfaced, and at this stage it is the highest Mk.3 chassis number we know to have been manafactured.

the ARN is 171-415 and it is a 1965 model. The last engine number it had was AGD282.14903, census 6069B (Truck Cargo 2 1/2 ton, GS, W/Winch). 1200x20 tyres were originally fitted and it was disposed of on the 23/10/1983. There is nothing so far to indicate any kind of overseas service.

Hi Richard - we now have conflicting information about the date of manufacture, disposal and the ARN. Exactly which truck are you talking about in your last post.

Bob

BTW I missed the slab.

I was windering about that.

You see ARN 171-446 started off life with chassis 1505 and was a Truck Firefighting, 2 1/2 Ton, GS, WW, Tank & Spray. However later in life it's chassis was replaced with 564

171-415 started off with chassis 1453 and had it replaced with 1505

PS. Didn't I give you a few ration packs in 2007 as payment?
