And I have the workshop manual for this truck in my collection as it was given to me by Doug Young a few years back when we worked together .... still in it's original mailing carton

Here it is

Greetings. Time to throw in my 2 bobs worth. The Baraclough D5n used to get punished- he also towed at times a dog trailer giving the '53 a good work-out. I'm pretty sure the b&w B model had chrome mudgaurds- correct me if I'm wrong. Padlock Trading Atkinson had a Gardner, taken in Nuriootpa Dec '73 and the W model low loader taken in '73 aswell. I reckon the P-bilt was taken on the Parramatta road, the group of 3 was taken at West Wlong- joe Bromage, Cygnet Trans White & Dyer's 1418, The Ford was at a dealership on Parramatta road, the stock crate White belonged to Sid Nash & sons taken at Mt Lambie. The R Reo with the Hartridge pan was Lyndars- it was blue and one day at high school I saw it on the back of a semi looking rather sad- needed new mirrors. The Ford with a Riverland Trucking R model on the trailer was taken at Nuri- probably after school when I used to sit on my treadly at the post office corner. The logging units I took when I worked in Tasmania for 18 months '79-80. Enough chat, stayed tuned

great photos Werk keep them coming good to reminisce

Walk on-Walk off freight this time ...

Walk on walk of is the best kind of freight I reckon if you can handle the special smell

This photo of the Fruhauf cattle trailer is one I have looked for for many years, even tried to buy a new one but they had become Maxi cube then and didnt want my money
Thompsons from Dubbo had a heap of them but I have never seen a second hand one
