Sunbar ◊ 2014-04-01 11:32	Although I can only compare it with what is available on the web it looks to me like the FT107 series 1954-1959. Introduced in 1954 the FT107N, a lightweight six wheeler which was initially sold under the model name 'Chieftain', but was renaimed 'Reiver' and 'K' suffix in 1957. So Chieftain or Reiver is possible depending on its year of manufacture. PF series 1955-1959, looks to have a different cab although I can only find two pictures? Leyland-engined Reivers and Clydesdale. http://www.trucksplanet.com/catalog/model.php?id=1410
