Details: Another Ford D-series shows a more common configuration for LT. 1582F was new in April 1970 and was described as a 5-ton Double Dropside Bolster Lorry. The bolster framework behind the cab was to permit the carrying of over-length loads such as lamp-posts. As this view shows, the lorry also had a crew-cab and tail-lift, and it was allocated to Parsons Green. The railway wagon alongside suggests that the picture was taken elsewhere, perhaps at Lillie Bridge or Acton. Note the white grille, and also the twin fog-lamps commonly specified at the time.
