I would say it could be possible .... But how many did they have and were they all similar to look at ?

the one in the top pic is now owned by Gerry McArdle at Riverstone.
He may have some clues,especially as the 2nd pic shows a number plate.

I would say , it may have come from a couple like that , that Seatons had . Ken Proctor had one , he sold his , it became "Debbies W" . Others could add more .

No,definitely not,back when that book was published this truck had a narrow grille bonnet.was owned by a scottish gent.remember the truck well.the small back window in the cabin should be a giveaway.

Just spoke to Gerry, yeah he said it's his truck that he owns now. And it has had a bonnet swap during it's life.

Just sent an email to sort out a login for this forum for Gerry so he can have his say.

While we are it, anyone know of the original owner for Gerry's truck? It was sold to a R A Redell, Gerry thinks he was based out at Lithgow, that he used to work the coal out that way.

come have a look at my blog
