I'm back after a 6 month's break. Our truck sales weren't frequent enough to keep the wolves at bay, let alone pay the mortgage, so a couple of months back we (I) decided that we'd go to auction on Sunday Feb 7th 2010 (the day after the Toowoomba Swap). So if you're coming up to the swap, come on down to our auction and stay over (you camp in your swag in the yard) from auction night.

With only 3 months to get them ready, I went thru and chose the best, the ones restored and ready to go, ie, Diamond P3320, 1942 4X4 Chev Yankee Joe, Commer with the GMV653, Le Roi compressor tractor and WW2 Willys Jeep. Then those which are dead and were going to stay that way for awhile if left in our hands ie, KMR Bedford GMV653, 2 x TD6 International dozers, 1940 Lendlease Chev cab chassis, 604 Federal Tank Transporter, and a Chevy and Isuzu for scap. Then, all of those which needed a bit of finishing off, or a bit of a repair. Don't you love it, everytime you take one out to a rally someone comes along and points out what is wrong, missing or broken! So this included the Mk II chamberlain industrial, the two super dexta's, the Fordson County Crawler, the Cat 22, the Ford D1000 with the UD 2 stroke (running), Inter R190 4X4 RAAF tipper, WW2 Clayton welder, Others like the 49 Fergy, 1973 Ford D1013 Fire truck, 2 strap trailers, Massey Harris 102 Junior, Kaiser Reo 6X6 submersible, 1942 Studebaker 6X6, Bristol 20 crawler, Bristol PD crawler didn't have anything additional done to them.

We're taking the opportunity to have a huge sell out so it's turned into a massive sale of machinery, truck parts, furniture, bric a brac etc.
With only days to go we're busy lining them up, putting on labels and fighting with a bit of rain at the moment.

I can provide details to anyone by email or by phone on 0408749012. Alternatively, check out the TOMM website, or auctioneers, Goetsch and Notley or check out my revitalised blogspot at www.anzacconvoy.blogspot.com .

Sorry if I didn't answer your enquiries earlier, even I get the miseries and lose the plot sometimes, but I'm back fit and raring to go for a good day next Sunday. Thanks to Dave and BigCam for their encouragement

Had a look at Truck and Bus spec addition for 1971,The KMR-XT5 came from the factory with a 6V53 and 10 speed roadranger,GCM of 60,000lb,full air brakes on 10.00X20`s,they wouldn`t give away the price though.Mind a Dodge 775 top of the range with a V8 175 Cummins was $10,271,and a White 2300D (of which I am the proud owner of one and almost the same) with a 6V53 in it was $17,970.

The GM powered ones were called a KMR model, had a 10 speed R Ranger and full air brakes. I think they sat a bit taller and had 4 headlights. Where is Deadly Dave when we need him ?
