No doubt prompted by recent Biglorryblog postings on steel-cabbed ERFs Colin Wallace has sent me these shots of an ERF heavy hitter...anyone know anything about it other tha than fact that it has a Cummins 335 and a Jake Brake?

Who can tell me anything about the truck?
I didn't think that they would have used an MP cab, after they absorbed Jennings (was it?) and were about to start off the plastic fantastic trend. This truck must be really unique, and those twin air intakes behind the cab do look rather suspicious...
could that be a york bonus loader?i can see in the last shot.
I drove this ERF for John Simmons in Leicestershire.It was first bought from Beecheās garage in Stoke on Trent by an owner driver, who I think did continental runs with it. It was a good lorry apart from the brakes,they were not the best,(thank goodness for the Jake) We did a lot of heavy work with it. The third axle was a home made job, we made it out of a tipper chassis with steel girders welded in for strength it was made to carry a 75 ton crusher to north Yorkshire which itdid OK,apart from an extra pull up a 1 in 7 hill into the Quarry by a 6 wheel tipper. The Dragline in the photo was a NCK which weighed about 45 tons with its extra ballast. The photos were sent in by my son
