The K Series Dodges in Australia were sold in a very limited number and were replaced with the Dodge Fuso. MHP Wollongong also had one of the K Series Dodges pulling a tri axle flat top trailer. It is a shame the last photo is not clearer. This Dodge belonged to A. Pittman Sydney.

I have never seen a K series Dodge in the flesh or even in a photo in Australia until yesterday

JOHN.K I have 2 spec sheets for the AKT 900- one has a 6v53, the other a 6v71. Truck show pic I reckon is the 6v71. Pete.

I might be missing something here but I'm sure Australia went decimal on the 14th Feb 1966 but the fuel tank capacity is in Gallons and the axle ratings are in pounds. Pete

That was dollars and cents...decimal currency.........I couldnt say when fuel went to litres..about 1968 maybe......I do recall the fuss when a shop had the inches and feet ruler snatched off the counter and broken in half by some petty government official.
