I believe you are correct.. Also here in the states both GMC and Chevy went to the one piece windshield, on the left hand truck, in 1954. No idea on the models built in other countries??

That looks, to me anyway, like a very long cattle trailer. It is a single axle, as well.

Maybe if the Railways had got their act together and run a regular service, 16 hours Melbourne to Sydney (even though it was twice the time taken by road freight) they could have kept some of the freight business they lost when their normal service was five or seven days, plus a day or two queuing at freight depots at each end. :sick:

I have my shoulder to the wheel,
my nose to the grindstone,
I've put my best foot forward,
I've put my back into it,
I'm gritting my teeth,

Now I find I can't do any work in this position!

“Good pommy gear”. Isn’t that what’s referred to as an oxymoron? Just like saying “an honest politician “.

The train in the background doesn't look any better then the Leyland in the foreground.

The doors look like they are falling off it.
