found this just now thought it was fitting to the topic
(not mine nor connected)

Xlnt shot, not only of the truck but of the countryside, arm on the sill, no ohs b----hit safety vest, and well dressed driver. Keep them coming. ( or is that Cummins chocs ).
Note the wooden safety posts and the chain wire linking them. Timeless.

A banga built to meet the need and out there doing it.
