Generally powered by a Perkins diesel, these were very popular vehicles. Supplied new to Pointers of Norwich, and used on cement work, sold on to Clifford Pye Ltd and sold on again to L. Fletcher and converted to tipper. Purchased by R. Lea of Edgmond, Shropshire from a farmer in 1998 and rebuilt.

Location: CVRTC Classic Commercial Motor Show 2002, at Gaydon, Warwickshire.

Perkins 6.354 engine, 5 speed gearbox, Eaton twin speed rear axle. Really smart looking truck.

These Dodges in Australia were designated as a 1060 model and had a 360ci petrol v8 motor and were known as a firecracker Dodge as many caught on fire thru petrol leaking from the carburettor. The one I drove didn't suffer with the problem and towed a 38ft bogie livestock trailer

I remember these when I worked for Pointers in 1966,
most of them had mixer bodies, but I think there were also a couple of tippers.You may be interested to know that Clifford Pye are still trading as a large farming group about 8 miles North of Norwich and run a modern fleet of artics .Great picture Bill.
