peterbilts,then and now

Wow, I bet you never expected to see that!!!!!

No that's for sure considering I was looking for decals for a model project.
If I was a bit smarter I would have linked it to PCTs reply #38 on this thread....
Guess it shows that photos definitely are public property on the net...

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configuration

Found this photo on Ebay..
Not the greatest photo but I see the girls are RHD and the number plates look very NSW issue to me.
The item is from Germany but I suppose it's anyones guess where the photo is from...

WOW. Dont they look grate with those alloy bud wheels. KW-guy.

Old Mate of mine posted this one as a Profile Pic on another site,



Fair bit of history he tells me, originally 250 Cummins with 4x4 trans and R190 Diff. Later repowered with the first 295 Cummins (His words) with screw on filters.
This pic would have been taken in the early 70s.
He last saw it when he was 40 (some time ago) :-X

Hi Raggsie .. ol' mate would be happy to know she's well cared for and now resides in the ''Peterbilt palace'' painted in Eastoes colours as when owned by them ....ch/no 15984 ..ex Daryl Shaw and Co in amongst a few earlier owners

Should have known that shouldn't I Detective.
I should call in and have a look.

...you're definitely more than welcome Raggsie......it'd be great to catch up again, all these years after Bay City Trucks

Another old girl back on the market #17789. . .Detective, at this rate it looks like early retirement

Found this on Philip Shubert's Flickr page ( www.flickr.com/photos/pschube/sets/72157625774270875/ )



Here's what he had to say about it:

"When crossing the low level crossing at Fitzroy Crossing on the way to Derby, the driver "missed a gear."

The road train rolled back down into the river bed partially jack kniffing with one tailer falling onto its side. The cattle of course escaped, and a number had to be put down due to injuries."

Looks like a Peterbilt to me but I'm no expert, we never had them in Israel or the EU...

It's a Hayes Tatra, is currently for sale too if your keen.
