Chris, KBT 78E, Commer OX/Carmichael was allocated to Beverley and then transferred to Pocklington, when Beverley were allocated a couple of K reg Ford D's in 1972. YBT773K was a Ford D0600/Pyrene WrT and BWF620K was a Ford D0600/Carmichael WrL. Hope this helps.

Beverley didn't have YBT773. For very long it was moved to Driffield about 1974 ran along side YBT772 which was also a ford d600. We had them both till around 1987

Carmichael built several appliances with this cab on quite a variety of chassis, including Albion, Bedford, Dodge and Ford as well as Commer. It was never clear to me why this custom cab was preferred to the more commonplace approach of building the crew cab behind the chassis manufacturer's standard lorry cab.
