Are there any pics of this truck in British service around?
Happy new year,

Eric,

The British Army did buy 6x4 Foden trucks, but only bodied as 12,000 litre tankers or tippers. The 8x4 chassis had dropside/flat bodies or tankers. 6x6 chassis was used for artillery tractor and limber for FH70 gun, and recovery vehicle. I cannot find a good photo, but suggest you look at some of the surplus truck dealers websites, there should be some ex-army ones on there.
