The "Kenworth Corral" at Clarendon....

Sorry James, if it was a Commer i might have been spot on...........and there's nothing worse than a novice leading everyone astray! The rear end and box were in it when I started with Matt so I'd say you're on the money with the rear end. David Mitchell told me that they were based up the other side of Doyalson. He also said that he bought a tip over axle tipper (so probably for coal) and he imported the budd rims and hubs himself so that the trailer matched the truck. I've been trying to get back in touch with him as he said that he had a lot of photos of the truck from when it was new until he sold it in 1990.

And for what its worth, what's the difference between a K125CR and a K124CR? Love your K121, never got a photo of it.

Hey, aren't you the guy who was talking with Ed Cameron???

Thanks for the comments GMnut.... I borrowed the door and supposed to return it eventually (hope Chappo is not reading this).....
Yes Cunning that was me talking to Ed Cameron....Did I tell ya!!! I'd love to see the photos of Mitchell's K124 in its working days.A very well specced up truck in its day,8V92TTA,RT 12515,DT480 @ 3.70/5.04 on big six and factory fitted Bud hubs with Alcoa disc wheels.
Cheers James.
