FODEN OYG258E 1981
This was our first brand new Foden when we bought it in 1967, I think it cost £6000 from Stanley Hughes at Cleckheaton. This Foden still exists as far as I know, we kept it for 17 years. In 2008 some one called Jim Sale owned it. We have a similar 6 wheeler but older buried in our yard, 892 CWW, the pair of them used to carry scrap steel to the famous Skiningrove steelworks a 220 mile round trip, a full days work back then.
Seen her after a chassis spray and having had a second hand ali body fitted, hooray no (very heavy) tailboard to remove umpteen times a day anymore. A Ford D series six wheeler with a V8 donated the body, I think we sold the Ford on.
