New guy from vic

Hi everyone, name is Chris, here is my truck, I will let he photos do some of the talking, she is a 78 Isuzu/Bedford SPG 540, has a 12 litre E120 motor with a six speed box, twin steer with a lazy axle, great condition for her age, Amin the process of getting her roadworthy. She has a 28 foot tray. I will be using it to cart my Menzi Muck about.
Some of you might have seen her on eBay recently.

Here is a pick of a my menzi muck so you know what I'm talking about

g'day Woorarra and welcome to the forum .. those big (Bedford) Isuzu's are a great old jigger ....never real big on horsepower, but solid and reliable .....never too many driveline issues......good luck with the sale

Menzi Muck hey have never heard of on of them before first glance at the picture I thought oh bugger me hes rolled it down the hill and broken it then I looked closer I wish I was that flexible and welcome

Thanks guys, mrsmackpaul, I just bought her, sorry about the confusion

As far as horsepower goes, she is definitely no speed machine, not to mention the comfort factor and the noise in the cab! She sits nicely on 80 -85 ks, she is no interstate rig that's for sure, it has a Hendrickson rear end which make her quite rough on the road empty!

Finally got the old girl on the road, here she is with my Menzi Muck on the back, been working down Mornington Peninsula, drove from Rosebud to Warragul to Morwell- taralgon back to Toora North on Friday, what a drive !
Was a long way in that old girl fully loaded, especially up powers hill for those that know it, 2nd gear with about 30 cars behind me :

Nice not needing ramps.

good to have a project finished and on the road that sure is a flexible machine

The Menzi she weird looking bit of gear
