4ANCHESTER bacon supqhas recently taken dery of two rather unusual ides.
bey are 16-ton -gvw four?,el rigids — but fitted with per cabs. Joseph Stocks of nchester has bought the rcedes-Benz 1617s for trung bacon to all parts of ,am, and for the more dist deliveries the sleeper cab ssential.
[sing the original steel pressings and fittings from sleepers in the larger Mercedes tractive units, the sleeper conversion was achieved in the 1617 cab.
Both vehicles have the largest chassis option of 5.9m (19ft 4ins), enabling a 7m (23ft) body to be mounted behind the extended cab.
The bodies used are Silverdale insulated bodies, fitted with Petter refrigeration units.
