Trucks for Sale in 1968 Mack,Pete,Autocar,Inter

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

Not a doubt about that mate.
Francis WAS Corowa Trading Co.
Harks back to the days of section 92.
A lot of transport firms up and down the Murray had depots just over the river.
They could pick up freight in Rutherglen , using this example , and take it across the border to Corowa , and then send it to Melbourne and call it an interstate trip.
Yes I know we all know that , but there are some here that might not.

In 1969 Gleemans were in Bath Rd in Kirawee.

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

my apologies gents .. bernie bott's trucking business was ...melbourne-corowa district transport service.

'scuse me for the blue :-[ :-[ :-[

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

G'day Detective, Is that the ad from Mack trucks late 60s??? The 6V71 is #103330 which Graham now has in Brisbane and as you would already know the 8v71 is #103944 which is the 3rd TBH S-model and then Miller Bros,also lives in Brisbane these days..... Cheers James.

Not a bad looking bird scarer mate
Benz belle

...spoke to barry lewis (scotta's) about his old truck quite a few years ago now, and was very interested in her survival so he jumped in the car and went down to maitland to have a look at his old rig...

he operated two cabover sleeper peterbilts, both 250 4X4 the other one being a 352A ch/no 15976, which had had a very chequered past up until his ownership

i understand that barry died a few years ago....R.I.P.
