The truck here is a TJ - Bedford J5, J6 or J7 by the higher ride-height - larger wheels and rounded front wings. 'J' and 'TJ' are the same. Vauxhall-Bedford added the T (for truck) prefix to distinguish them from the car (E, F, H etc.) and van (CA and CF) chassis , however it often appears without the T prefix. They were all internal chassis codes which initially were not well publishised, unlike the later 'TK'. A-type or TA - normal control trucks, 1-ton to 5-ton 1953-1957 C-type or TC - forward control trucks, 4-ton to 7-ton 1957-1960 (replaced the S-type which never was the 'TS' as far as I know). D-type or TD - normal control trucks, 1-ton to 6-ton 1957-1959 (replaced the TA). J-type or TJ - normal control trucks, 1-ton to 6-ton 1959-1988 (replaced the TD). Later, finally the forward and normal-control ranges were prominatly advertised as the 'TK' and 'TJ' (but they later advertised the heavier TKM as the 'KM' preferring to drop the T.) |

Thanks for these explanations, Sunbar. I bookmark this page for future reference. For the record, the design of the (T)As is clearly inspired from the one of their contemporary US cousins, the 1947-55 Chevrolet Advance-Design trucks: ![[Image: 13731463154_582ceabd43_n.jpg]](https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7455/13731463154_582ceabd43_n.jpg "https://c1.staticflickr.com/8/7455/13731463154_582ceabd43_n.jpg") ![[Image: 517434963_8269c68ffe_n.jpg]](https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/232/517434963_8269c68ffe_n.jpg "https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/232/517434963_8269c68ffe_n.jpg") -- Last edit: 2017-04-15 22:26:19 |
