Fullers Transport, of Slough, who have a mixed fleet of 32 lorries, were looking for a new gearbox for a high-mileage Volvo F88 when Alan Fuller, southern area service manager of Eaton Truck Components, turned up with the suggestion of a Fuller unit. Tony Dowley, a director of Fullers Transport, had reservations about the conversion but was delighed when it was completed in a day.
He has since had a Fuller RT9509A nine-speed gearbox installed in a second Volvo F88 and eight of the fleet now have transmissions of this make. Alan and Tony could not resist the temptation to be photographed while drinking to the success of the conversions in a pint of Fuller's beer. You can't get much fuller than that.
