"Stores" trucks....so what did they store?

[chrisgrove]

While appreciating that the term Stores Trucks can actually cover a huge range of vehicles, carrying an equally huge range of items, my understanding is that most of them were attached to workshops, LADs and such. They carried the smaller items required for vehicle repair that were frequently in demand. Spare engines - probably not; they would need to be requested from further back, but nuts, bolts, gaskets, fanbelts, brake linings, windscreen wipers - all that sort of thing.
