Default T-110

That pic coincides with a plate I have a copy of for either T-110L-S or -13. The former is a 135 in wheelbase with Eaton rear axle and the latter D60S/DD again with Eaton axle.

Default Two points

It is parked in front of an MH-Ford Snogo ( the blowing gear is quite distinctive, and although similar to the gear on the FWD version it is slightly smaller and lower to the ground )

While I'm typing, in case anyone doesn't know, the engineering code for these vehicles was T110L, the 'L' being part of the engineering code and nothing to do with designating a long wheelbase.

So, that truck would be a D60S ( for short wheelbase ) but the engineering code would still be T110L.

Default Nope

Owned one and that was enough. It was actually the one that spent many of its years at Perth Airport ( Scone ) though with the blowing gear parked elsewhere. It is now back together and was on its way to Australia last time I heard.

I quite liked the bigger FWD versions, which were common years ago but have now all vanished. Last one I saw was at the Kirriemuir woodyard twenty years back. I'm more into driving over snow than blowing it out the way, and there is an expensive new snow vehicle project in the offing unless someone else buys it and saves me a load of grief - can't say what or the sale would be sure to fall through.

Just found a couple of pictures taken in India in 1945 of 2 x D60 L's. (Both vehicles served with the Royal Signals, Dad was a Driver/Mech)

Default I'd guess T110L D60S tippers

The 'L' in the engineering code, regardless of wheelbase, does get in the way of describing these trucks

Nice examples

Gordon
