Our only example of an ET6 as a tractor-trailer unit, with little to determine the build date. As far as I can determine an ET6 was not produced by Ford as a tractor unit, so possibly a conversion based on either the standard 3-ton 128" wheelbase chassis and cab or a 5-ton 128" wheelbase tipper chassis. |

Rob the fifth wheel off a worn out Bedford Scammell and there you go. It would be more sensible to use a 5-ton tipper chassis, both suspension and gear ratios would suit it as a tractor. |
