australian peterbilt factory right hand drive

Mark, that one in TNT colours, SWB, may have been the one that was single drive with a pusher, the other seven were bogie drive. Jeff.

If you look at the front wheel on the drive there seems to be no axle so that may be it.
When i was carting containers into there it seemed to be parked up for quite a while. Mark

the one with the pusher axle was originally alltrans 281,the first truck delivered to them,then owned by a tnt subbie arthur ridley from sylvania,sydney.the truck is still around on the nsw north caost,the truck with duel on the bonnet was also a alltrans truck.as a matter of fact it was the second to last australian delivered pete.it is in the photos on page 1,its the one with the bullbar and cab in primer.

This is probly the one
Got the piccy from an olld book.

HI all. Read with interest about the Peterbilt. Was one in Tassy that belonged to Sweatman Brothers in Beaconsfield. Was from memory purchased new by Hilton McKoy on logs. Had 250 cummins and a 5x4 box with a strange shift patern. Had arubber block type suspension. Was still sittin in there yard 5 years ago with the scrub growin around it. He wouldnt sell it then.

They also own the very last SAR ever made

The acid tanker was taken just out of Brisbane,mid 1979

that chemtrans pete is parked up out the front of eagle transport at hexham, nsw

That chemtrans pete i believe is owned by Glenn Lynch and is still in his yard at hexham

Stuck these up the other day in another post, fellow member Peterbiltmech knows all about them and works there!
Would be an interesting place to work, they have some good toys.

Had a look at the chemtrans pete today....its in a pretty sad state, but they are still talking of restoring it

i've been doing a lot of research on peterbilts, especialy the classic "corvette dash" 359 pete and am currently looking into importing one or two when i go to America in september, working at lynches and having conections like frank chrystie helps a lot so if anyone has any questions just hit me up and if anyone has any info or anything on 359 petes i'd love to hear it

cheers
