Xspanrman,
That old NR with the Bedford cab, would that be the same one that sat for many years at the south side of the old Hume Highway at Yass, just at the end of the bridge over the Yass river?
I reckon that I stopped and looked at it many, many years ago. One I saw had a Cummins with a 4X4 Spicer, but it was a long time ago.

Cabover Bedford had badges on the front reading GM Bedford Mack. Maybe the one at Yass was just similar.
2 NR Macks and a GMC moving a house up Heaslip Coniston (near Wollongong)prior to 1960. The Macks belonged to Ward and Coleman of Balgownie. The man at the front with a hat is Phil Coleman and I think it is his son Robert hanging out the window of the Mack on the right. After July 1960 to 2000 Phil traded as P.B.Coleman P/L at Corrimal while his ex partner Dave Ward continued operating out of the Balgownie yard as D and J Ward until selling out.



Taken at the Illawarra C.B. Radio Assossiation show in the mid eighties at Shellharbour this V8 Mack belonged to logging operator T.E. Davis of Tomerong near Nowra
Tony Young's R600 attended the same show.

Billy P,
Now that you mention it, reckon that one at Yass could have been Roy Behn's.
Was definitely a Cummins with Spicer boxes, sat there near the caravan park for yonks.

.Dave........i will stick my neck out and say that one at Yass was one of Roys trucks...........
I was at Cummins in the 1960s ( i think) and they had been around for a while then.
Am i to be thinking that Monahans bed mack may have been one of Roys trucks re powered or
came from the same stable.............twoodst to be doodst to find out...........
