got this as a heap of bits canopy was hardest part to find

still have not got the hang of inserting more than one picture per post looked at advice still no clearer
Anyway this is what it looks like now, have enough parts to rebuild another one but can\'t source a canopy

one more picture

by going into \'html\'

That is it, as far as the rescue is concerned only things missing are, a canopy, one spare wheel assuming they had spare wheels,if not then I have a spare spare wheel and a cross head screw, I tried all the tools and hardwear shops in the area but they dont have anything that small, I have decals for the one without a canopy, not really sure what to do with these two now as they don\'t fit into anything that I currently have in the Military collection, wrong scale entirely, not much of interest in the rest of the box of bits, a lot is smashed and most is not related to die cast toys at all probably came out of somebody\'s garage, mostly old tools but at least I got a large collection of sharpened drill bits so it was worth £5.00, The last one that I had of these, again with no canopy I swapped for a 25 pdr field gun, I will take it to the trade fair this weekend and see what i can get for it

Still have not been able to find a canopy. Did not sell it after all, there was a canopy in the broken box of one of the sellers at a recent toy fair, but it really was broken had obviously been stood on and the guy wanted £3 for it I offered hin 50p.
I dont really know what i could have done with it in retrospect as a chunk was missing, it is a bit like the 666 cogs .....one day

nice job on that Foden.


I recently managed to find one too for a reasonable price simply to fill an original box I have had since 2010. The reason I got the box was because the seller had separated both. I lost the truck but got the box.


What I needed was a truck with most of the bits and its only missing its rear tailboard.


No rush. Unless you know someone with a spare tailboard.

Nobleco will have one I am sure it is a standard part

good luck finding a canopy.

I'll help look too ofcourse.

ixtis 1965, Nice. dinky boy

Thanks Dinkyboy. Of course the funny thing is that when i got the box of bits I had not the slightest idea what I had.

It was a bit like getting a bag of jigsaw puzzle bits

In the first picture I did not put the whole heap of bits this was just a representative selection.

In a surprising twist of fate I found out how the truck ended up in such a parlous state, they were dismantled by a ten year old kid, who got them at a car boot sale and he intended to repaint them, thank goodness he didn't, the bits got thrown into a box in the garage when he lost interest

 


 


Or Ask a Moderator to delete it. It has been done.

Canopy is not available unless it fits another model. Nothing listed. I can get the window unit, plastic tail gate and the black plastic front bumper and front Doors.

It is nearly 19 months since I first posted this and have been to at least 50 toyfairs and carboot sales

If the truth be known, apart from the odd boxed Foden I have not seen many about for some time, a bit like the Crane fruehauf, a few months ago there were suddenly a lot about you could buy some reasonable to good sets for £1, maybe there is a time of year when people have a good clear out, hopefully that Foden moment is approaching.

Nobleco, Jim the presentation jumps around every time I go to a new Topic. When the new Topic is opened, the pictures go to the last post, then jump to the top of the page current page of the new topic. I do not remember this happening before.
Additionally, I unsubscribe to the post when leaving, but my email is flooded with TC's and have pages since logging out. My bride is annoyed and I can not figure out what I am doing wrong avoid the emails.........HELP! dinkyboy
