Scummy and all, Re ANL Most of them had done more miles than people realized with the quick turn around. Everyone wanted more power and the only thing that went was the vegemite sandwich, but it was optioned up with breakdowns ;D There was talk of a new 3406A W Model before I finished, but that was a long time before the first Mack arrived. Would be great to track Donny down and get mail on these. Good stuff! ;)

G'Day Detective, Frank said they use to try and keep running with the Petes when short.

Second photo looks like Truck 11. #19163---Wilko's on the right. Franks in the middle. Who's W?

Here's a shot of Truck 11 in the early days as Joe Hari's. Photo by Bill Moline :)

Yeah, I agree Detective, It could be a poster. Questions for you, Have you any answers for some of the earlier queries re CCT' COE KW...ID Chassis #, Any other photos of the Cannington Earthmover COE in Bigcams shot? (Truck Show) and where it was? Cato said may be Macquarie Uni. I have one of the ACF Shirleys truck for him. Also Reply #14, Could you dig out the front angle shots of this photo of Truck 7 in its early day at Cannington?
Thanks Detective and appreciate your input :) ;) Here she is again!!! Myflint69 and all. ;)
