Overlander's old Photos

Greetings. The White is definitely East Coast- compare with the East Coast White beside the EC ERF [taken at Angaston cement works]. I used a magnifying glass on both photos to check. Same roo-bars aswell. The yellow Whites were from a SA Govt dept- maybe weights & measures or Highways dept. The red Transtar was at a motor show in Adelaide in '73. Didn't ever see many of those stock crates getting around. I thumbed through the pages of the photo albums to find the B & M for Sarge. All these instamatic photos are in albums that had the sticky paper with a cellophane sheet over the top so lifting the photos can be a bit of a chore so as not to damage them. Stay tuned.

Thanks for looking overlander..re the B & M .. my BB says

That might be one of the two ex-Ansetts which ran the Melbourne-Adelaide shuttle, one round trip a day, five days a week and which I drove for a short while, based in the company flat in Nhill a few months. 8V71 GMs and 15 speed RoadRanger (I think).

PaulFH Loved the photo of the green DCF looks a real workhorse no polished fuel tanks, doesn't make em go any better.

Yes Swanny, that was the one that first caught my eye.
No nonsense tough workhorse alright.
She could tell a few yarns.

Yep by the look of the bull light i think she would have done a lot of work in the outback .Maybe its the angle of the photo but it looks like the bull bar has had a wallop on the near side prob curtesy of an errant roo.??

The bar looks to have quite a twist.
Probably some blood and guts to clean off.

Greetings. The resolution in some of those photos has certainly been age affected. The green Transtar was from Alice Springs, maybe S Blanchet & Sons on the door, taken at DETCO as was the Mal Wilkinson KW. The red KW was Trevor Doecke and over time he upgraded to bigger and better. I suspect it was an ex Schrapel's Traders from Berri but I thumbed through my photos and can't make a match and I've quite a few photos of Schrapel's Kenworths. Never did get a photo of schrapel's White 7564TDB- I was still going to High School when he started upgrading from Loadstars and 190's so I couldn't afford to but film for my brother's instamatic. Next time

great photos . like them all thanks for posting them up.
