PMG fmodel mack

Just want to revive an older thread. Is this a PMG Mack?



This one is in a yard in Mittagong.

Theres a picture of one on flickr that is orange. Im not sure if it is a pmg truck or not. it has a wide neck brentwood low loader behind it. It might be an old RTA truck, not PMG It might give you an idea though.

Hi Young Mack , Not the best quality , And not seen for very long ,But exactly what your asking about .
.

Bigcam I think Put this on You tube .
I have a mate that operated dozers for telstra .Next time i am talking to him ,I will ask if he has any Photos . His time there may be a bit later than the F model era .

G'day, The fellow driving the dozer is forum member "Fortunate Son",from Balhannah in the Adelaide Hills, who still does work for Telstra on contract. I think you are right about Bigcam posting the video for him. ( he now owns cam's Road Boss) Cheers

Not exactly Ian, I reckon that's a Road Commander.

We have a MIR700 Mack that was manufactured for PMG in July 1978 and I have attached a photo of it in its original colours, It was the 3rd of 10 build for Victoria so I'm told

THE F MACKS DEPO WAS/IS CAMP RD BROUDMEDOWS ,TELECOM ORDED THESE BECAUSE THAY COULD GO ON COUNTRY ROADS AS HAVING A FLAT NOSE THAY COULD GO AROUND TIGHT CORNERS AND FIT ON A FLOAT I WORKED WITH THESE EVERY SPRING/SUMMER ALL AROUND GIPPSLAND LAY CABLES ,THERE IS A BOOK ABOUT THE HISTORY OF PMG /TELECOM THAT HAS SOME PICS.THE WHITE ONES WERE POST OFFICE ,COMMONWEALTH,TELECOM GOLD WERE TELECOM ,SOME TIMES TELECOM WOULD BORROW FROM THE FLEET YES THE PAINT WAS CALLED TELECOM GOLD.

I concur Ian does look like a Road Commander
