Nice to see this Ford D HP still working. Our Brunei FSD similar Ford D HP was disposed in 2000.

The D1617 was used for quite a number of Snorkels. It was less costly than the ERF or Dennis Delta chassis, but it had the same Perkins V8 engine, and the lack of a crew cab was not a drawnack, because hardly any brigades ever ran Snorkels with a full crew.

It did not have a low-profile cab, of course, so it could not fit in to every appliance room doorway, but this was not always a concern.
