Making a small effort to save the history of road transport in Australia by being in front of Simms
Hello bparo
Having looked hard at the jigger it would be more likely 1910 to 1920s vintage and it does not seem to look like a Gersix.
Given it was Swishy's first new Truck it must have been some later that he...........
Lost his way and purchased a Kenworth.

1910 Franklin Truck
http://digitalcollections.detroitpubliclibrary.org/islandora/object/islandora%3A176981/datastream/IMAGE/view
View of Goodrich tires road sign next to 1910 Franklin truck parked on roadside. "Goodrich tires, pleasant traveled" logo on side of truck. Sign reads: "Erie, 69; Clev. 33; Geneva, 15; Painesville, 2; Madison 9, Main Road; Goodrich tires." Man stands next to truck; wooden-frame house and horse-drawn buggy in background
The Franklin Automobile Company was an American manufacturer of automobiles in the United States between 1902 and 1934 in Syracuse, New York.
Herbert H. Franklin founded the H. H. Franklin Manufacturing Company in 1893 and, in 1901, teamed up with engineer John Wilkinson to develop an air-cooled engine. In 1902, the Franklin automobile was introduced. Because he was the primary investor, Franklin assumed control of the company, and named the auto manufacturing division Franklin Automobile Company. As president, he managed the company finances and business administration. Wilkinson was named chief engineer and granted control of the engineering and manufacturing operation.
Throughout its history, Franklin was a luxury brand and competed with other upscale automobiles of the day. As such, it fell victim to the Great Depression along with many luxury car manufacturers. The company sold about 150,000 cars over the course of more than 30 years in existence
