![[Image: 07-17parrotnosebtipper.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/10314/07-17parrotnosebtipper.jpg) Looks like LWB tipper. Rare parrot-nose version - even more unusual for not being GPO Telephones?? |

The vehicle has a modified front to take a larger 5.1 litre diesel engine, the radiator has been moved forward and the cowling has been redesigned. The GPO vehicle with a similar front end is to permit a 3-man cab I believe by moving the shorter engine forwards. 5-Ton Austin or Morris FG K100 from July 1963. /vehicle_454315-Morris-FG-K100-1961.html -- Last edit: 2022-06-08 21:27:11 |

Well done Sunbar there is a lot of confusion ( understandably ) with the snouted 6cyl 'big FGs' and the small GPO special FM . ( Although the FM was supposedly available to others as they issued a brochure but I have never seen one that is not GPO or ex GPO ) -- Last edit: 2022-06-08 21:32:06 |

No problem, my memory has been able to cope at least with these trucks. Also I think its probably something like a builders truck with a drop-side body and a support frame behind the cab for long loads. It seems to also have a higher tailboard but the standard shallow sides (less than expected on a tipper?). -- Last edit: 2022-06-08 21:48:56 |

Maybe a tail lift ? -- Last edit: 2022-06-08 22:34:45 |

![[Image: ratcliffetaillift64.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/558/ratcliffetaillift64.jpg) An early Ratcliffe Tail-lift with similar upper and lower rail extensions in 1968 had a 1-ton capacity. Ratcliff of Welwyn Garden City started making tail-lifts in 1964. Others like Edbro and Hydro Lift were also manufacturing tail-lifts by 1967 but if they looked similar is unknown and if they had the same capacity. |
