Default SADF 6 x 4

They were Fordson E917T with the Sussex conversion from County Commercial Cars Limited. As such they were factory rhd from Dagenham.

The SA trucks were purchased by the Ministry of Supply, whereas the RAF barrage balloon trucks with winch were supplied to the Air Ministry. They both had long bogies with 7 3/4 articulation, with auxiliary gearbox and 9 x 20 tyres on the former and 9.00 x 16 tyres on the latter.
