I am curious as to what happened to the massive fleet of trucks that Western Transport had amassed, based at Toowoomba, when they sold out to Bell Bros. in 1972. Did Bell Bros. move them all to the west ? They seem to have just dissappeared from around Toowoomba

If you contact the Western Transport Museum I think you might get an answer.

This has a good Slim Dusty Western Transport video on the home page.

All the Western Transport fleet was absorbed into Bell's fleet, and most where repainted into Bell's colours.

I seem to recall been told that Bells were owned by Allen Bond and I'm pretty sure we're called Bellways or some such thing
Anyway when Bondy went cahput that was the end of them

I may have that all wrong though
