Bussing

wunder wot so different about Bussing compared 2 the everyday garden variety of truck

Did It Cum with twin ashtrays
or a 3 cyl motor with a 36 speed cog box
LOL

...yes fageol .. believe it or not we got a couple of Bussing Nags out here ....ol' mate Bob Barker in Goulburn remembers at least one of them travelling through regularly : : :.....wonderful bits of gear i'm sure

...with the ''S'' series valiant on back of the Commer, at least the photo can be dated at 1962-63

Think it might be a Bussing Commodore with an underfloor engine ahead of the front axle and the gearbox halfway along the frame.

...pretty sure it's not a Commodore Grandad as they were a tractor unit and this one appears to be a rigid ??

...the Commodores were also a more ''developed'' cab with contemporary early/mid 60's styling

Thanks for the answers fellas. There's probably an ad for those Bussing NAGs-(the Krauts had some strange names for their trucks, didn't they), in Truck and Bus back in the 1950s.

...NAG was an acronym for Nacionale Automobil AG ....

..all this guff is out of ''The World Encyclopedia of Trucks'' by Peter J Davies...

Jacksons in Hobart had a bonneted one on the Huon run

G'day,
I expect many already know but later 'Bussing' models were badged as 'MAN Bussing', then MAN ( Now part owned by VW)

hi Roland..that's a nice pic.. and interesting to see the spider wheels which appear to be a Bussing ''trademark'' and usually not a common style of wheel in Europe.....

... the Bussing MAN tie up commenced in 1971 after an initial period of close co-operation from about 1969 and from all accounts this arrangement carried through to the late 80's.....cheers
