When did steering shift from centre to left or right?
This has been a most interesting find and discussion. Unfortunately, I don't have another lying in wait.

Hi,
this image appeared in an article I was reading on Moonshine so it would be an American native.

I can not remember if I posted this of my 1968 Perkins Commer taken about 1983 with the 1 1/2 ton Chevrolet I drove back from Bowen to Brisbane. Something a bit different. I think it was a fuel tanker in its early days. If I had it now I would not need the Mack Midliner. Still got its former owners name on it after I bought it in Albury and brought it home.
Wonder if it survived?

What was that like to steer Lang? I'm guessing no power steering, how'd you go manouvering her around the place?

No power steering. Looking back I don't think it was any more difficult than a normal single front axle. I am sure it would have been a bit of exercise backing and filling on around the town deliveries when it was a tanker filling service stations.
Blew a hole in a piston on the way back from Albury. My mate and I spent two days camped beside the road halfway between Goondiwindi and Warwick putting a new set of pistons in the Perkins. We had it for another 100,000 km without missing a beat.
