You can't beat sitting in an old truck like that on a rainy day with a cup of tea and a bacon sarnie from a roadside burger van. All you need now is a radio cassette player and a Van Morrison tape 👍🏻 🙂

[@reubenleveridge5175]

for sure !!

[@alestout5632]

Drove these back in the 70s for council didn’t know they done a 5 speed box on the TK thought it was just on KM

I had plenty of days out with my dad in one of these moving furniture, if there was 3 blokes on the job I'd be on the parcel shelf. Sadly that old thing had rotted by the time I was able to drive, then it was a Leyland roadrunner or a Merc 814.

[@reubenleveridge5175]

yep i got same sort of memories that s why i had to get one !!

I learned to drive in a TK . 9 yrs old round the turf fields down on the Romney Marsh in Kent .. My uncle had half a dozen KMs he ran as muck away tippers too. I ended up in the army & passed my HGV/car dual test in one. Lessons on the Monday took my test of Weds afternoon... Having a TK is on my bucket list.. nice lil lorry you got there.
