(Perkins, cubic capacity in inches) The Observers Book of Commercial Vehicles technical info cannot be faulted ! ( except there is one page in the 71 edition with mixed up photos, think it is Ford vans from memory!) This and the Ladybird Book of Commercial Vehicles were the only truck books available in my youth . -- Last edit: 2022-05-15 19:03:56
