Sweet sounding KittyCat twirling an Allison auto gearbox ,nice tidy Jimmy wagon with a lift tag axle. Wonder if GM do this model in right hand drive?, be fab to import one into the UK.

This one was converted from a service truck into a grain truck. Talked to the guy who built it and they also made some silage trucks that sold across the US. They extended and double framed what must've been a service truck so that's why it has 6th gear unlocked on the Allison. I was very happy to use it this harvest.

@@midwestmechanics1921 So the lorry(truck) was converted by the owner at his garage , workshop from a flat bed to a bulk grain carrier, a very neat job with the Primrose or York style lifting tag axle. Nice to hear the Allison auto has all six gears working? a good spread for driving on the flat and the hills, as in the Cotswolds the hills are steep, the roads narrow and twisty. If a similar lorry were built in the UK, be a DAF 65 CF COE chassis with a Cummins 6BTA ISME an automated clutch and manual gearbox. Would not be that difficult to fit the 6 speed Allison auto to the DAF, a far better choice and more robust.
