That, my friends, is an ex TNT 6V92 powered 8x4 ex KT836, which later went onto the Zacuba Bricks contract.
I'm sure BillyP will have pics of it in Zacuba colours.

Oh ... And the rear suspension is Goth 4 spring with long rocker arms

Would it have been built with torsion bars.

           Yep  Roky..          started life with torsion bars...........and a 15 speed O/D box ..

  Came off the overnight  run ,,,,,had the John Goth suspension fitted.
The overdrive box was knocked back to a direct drive.
The brick bodies and crane from one of the old Cameranions  was installed,
Then went straight to work delivering bricks.
For the first time in its life, it was on top weights ALL the time. (some times maybe just a tad over).
