One of the first eleven Ford D series appliances ever supplied. Ten of these water tenders and one foam tender were delivered to Gloucestershire. The bodies were by HCB Angus and - unlike later designs - the rear crew compartment was not attached to the tilt cab. But the rear cab window was left open, with a very beefy rubber grommet around it to keep the rain out - to allow the OIC to talk to the crew....

Later HCB Angus, Carmichael and CFE bodies on the D series chassis had more elaborate "split tilt" cabs while Merryweather and Pyrene used the Reliant four door full tilt crew cab.

Bodybuilders in other countries also manufactured some great looking cabs, including American style tilting canopy crew cabs in Australia and New Zealand.
