Three small rear glasses also the cab door shape are similar to some but not all Homalloy cabs. The front shape is too blurred for me to get an idea of what it could be. -- Last edit: 2018-01-27 14:46:51

jcb ◊ 2018-01-28 19:05	Shame no info on pic about cab .
Sunbar ◊ 2018-01-29 19:52	Very little found currently other than a Co-op Milk Tanker photo of a Mercury with the same cab (old eBay listing as thumnail pic). Also a comment on a trucknetuk forum about their existence but nothing more. edit: improved picture of cab only. -- Last edit: 2018-02-01 13:14:18
