Overlander's old Photos

Greetings. These last photos were a mixture of mine and Niftys'- Nifty used to get my negatives printed to add to his albums so when having the catch-up the other week I figured I would be able to get back some of the photos I've been missing since I lent out an album or two and have since forgotten who to- senior moment of note! Anyways, the yellow Peterbilts were PCT Roadlines and took that photo between Ceduna and Border Village when I went as help with the mechanic to do an inframe on a 4-71 gen set in late 74 or early 75. The Diamond belonged to a Col Woodgate from Altona. The Cain's Diamond is Nifty's as are the Travelos Kenworth and the Bunker Atkinson . I just get the help at work to put my name on them so as not to mess her around. It'll be the same story with the next lot and until further notice. Stay tuned.

Like the Diamond T and White.
The green International ( DCO ) ? with half sleeper
looks the goods for the era. Short WB and compact,
very business like. Great pics Overlander.

That's one of Burkinshaws from Lockhart. Still in business today (over 70Yrs) now based in Wagga.
ALWAYS; Clean, neat, tidy, Well presented Gear. ALWAYS.

Minimum size sleeper on the cab over KW stock truck.
Get as many animals on as possible, driver hasn't time
to sleep!

You would get plenty of time to stroll around with that massive fuel tank

Some decent over hang past the king pin as well

I wonder when the truck was ordered did the new owner reckon he had found a loop hole and pretty soon all trucks would be this way ? Really would limit the resale value

The white and green White 4000 would of been a big truck in its day

Greetings. Most of that last lot were taken by Nifty- I'm pretty sure the 4 x2 Commander was Sturzaker's- geez he had a nice SAR with an 8v92. I'm on leave until after the Christmas slow down but I swung past the firm today and dropped off another batch and wrote Nifty's name on a piece of paper as there is now a new young lady with the responsibility of scanning for me and I would rather Nifty's name on the photos knowing that they are his. I'm going to select what I see as collectors items or unique in some way or another or maybe just a bit flash for the day. Keep it interesting. Stay tuned.
