Hey Bob, Melon hasn't got your old truck mate, he is just in love with it, like you. LOL.

I think a bloke in Tasmania has it now, if you click on the link to the ad.

bongo when the first pics of this truck were posted I noticed the exhaust manifolds on that 903!!!! back in the 70,s we were vt ing a lot of 903 naturals makin a 350 out of a 290 hp with those manifolds but they came only on whites in the u.s and were perfect to run pipes up to the turbo on a louieville but when they said Tasmania I just dismissed it as coincidence?????? the moment you mentioned mt vic the grey cells started to buzz!!! I haven't seen hack for years but dunns had a subbie on the cement out of kandos murf the surf[jim murphy] with 2 3070 accos I rebuilt both to 350 hp using those manifolds and hack chased up 2 thru me when he did that r200 ,small world bloke eh???
