Nice to be shopping back in that day !!

And they were all in really good condition Too .

And low mileage!!

g'day .. all those bangers were for sale at gleemans in sydney in 1969...it's a page out of T&BT.

the cabover peterbilt is a wonderful survivor with a solid history going from australian fertilizers limited (AFL) through to jock campbell's deacon avenue cartage in richmond adelaide, to barry lewis' scotta's tpt , and as far as i know remained in south aussies hands till only very recently down at maitland, and was present at the lancefield truck show last weekend (ch/no 19186)

sorry i can't help with the rest....we'll have to locate a few more boffins to tidy up the other ones details

Gotta agree with Sherlock here.
Doubtful you'd be able to buy a '69 Autocar with 20-odd thousand miles on it in 1968.
One other thing I noticed...
The B model on the far lower left is advertised with a 19 speed gearbox?
Probably gunna be corrected but I've never heard of one...

Ok Swish I can go along with that..
Only thing is , the B model directly above has a 20 speed.
You would think ( hope ) that perhaps there was one bloke setting out the original ad.
You might also assume he /she knew about their product?
Effectively the same box , just different wording?

good chance swishy that's your old S model...1965 and 6V71 no?...possibly bernie botts (corowa trading) before going to john hickmott at wodonga ? or was it wangaratta, or the one graham palmer in QLD owns right now?

if you can be a bit more specific about the ad. it will help

anyway...cheers

are you sure corowa trading was Botts, I always thought it was A.J Francis?????

For those that did attend The ATHS show at Lancefield this past weekend...
Here is a picture of the aforementioned truck..
Robbie Green had some of his Peterbilt collection on display...
Included in his collection was his daily worker, a 1966 351ST Peterbilt..(pictured at the bottom of this post)



I wonder how many of the 'advertised' trucks are still in existance or even better still,.. working for that matter?

chocs



And some more Petes....
