Hi guys not to poach this thread but I went through the Richardson museum just before Bill died.A bunch of us were touring the south island on our motor bikes and I called Bill and he told us to come around.The most amazing collection and he told us all about each truck and were he found them.As I'm into 37s he had several.He was really into the dual axil trucks and showed us all the different ways drive was transmitted to the back axil.Thornton was one company that ford used but there were others.My film camera shredded the film so I lost all the photos.The most amazing thing was the beauty of the american trucks as compared to the english and european ones.Even in the 50s and 60s the english trucks had no driver comfort what so ever.Cheers Tony.
