Not sure she was an EX Hartridge Truck,
We bought several after they sold out to Cubico
Painted them up Re trimmed them and sold them on.

Thanks to everyone that posted photos, some nice looking trucks there and lots to think about for colour schemes !
Geoff B, I'll blame you for my holiday off the forum for the week, I went to update my profile as I didn't realise I hadn't put up my location and thought I would update email address, well I locked myself out didn't I .

At least i made use of my time, i haven't taken delivery yet but I did go and get some photos.
Those who ask.......... and ask shall receive!
Apparently this was previously owned by Les Walkden, around this time it was in the accident that required it to have the new cabin fitted. It was a winter rebuild project for C&I Transport at Youngtown.
If it was, in a round about way I ended up with a photo of it (I got the photo for the R200 in front that I use to own).
So are there any Tassie fellas in the woodwork, maybe werk horse or others that may have any more pics of Walkdens G88 or know anymore info on it?
Giddy: Thanks for the pics of Wooleys G88, Cunning had given me the heads up that it was a nice looking truck. If that was 1994 does anyone know when it was retired, it was certainly still neat as a pin then.

The bumper is of the late style with the foot cutouts (and handles on cab) to facilitate scraping bugs off the screens, so presumably that was replaced as well. The holes for the lights are already marked out on the reverse side of the bumper so were either cut through by a dealer or at home.
She looks neat.

Nice collection there Werk - even have one of mine! I am intrigued by the G89 with the steamer trailer - early cab, late bumper, 6x4 badge (of which I am on the lookout for) but single drive on a longer than standard wheelbase. Any info on her?
