| Of the 27 Dodge Commando lorries bought by London Transport between 1981 and 1985, the majority (20) were dropsides. The remainder comprised four box lorries and three dustcarts. Three of the box trucks had crew-cabs and tail-lifts, though the first of these (2306D) differed in having the earlier front panel design and also ladder hatches in the front of the box bodywork. 2379D was new in April 1983 and was photographed at Wandsworth Garage (outside the set-back western entrance) a few years later. The front wheelarches are grey, while a photo taken in 1988 showed that they had been repainted black (and a Renault diamond had been added to the front grille). As will be shown next, 2379D was one of six LT Commando lorries to end up with a firm in Willesden. |
