Is It true that some of these were built on an alloy chassis or did I just imagine it ? :-/

Pretty sure we ultimately confirmed paulc20's as ex Selkirk Bricks by chassis number.

www.hcvc.com.au/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1304416914/7#7

Selkirks were built from new for brick cartage with minimum tare weight in mind.

The ghosts (and hence those re-purposed as brick trucks for Zacuba) were all steel rails.

Re 407229, reckon it was originally built with the Big 6 Low, not changed from broom handles.

Silver 406 @1900, RT14609A, DS401P @ 3.55

Had the aerodynamic shield with fairings so only 3 L700 type marker lights in the fairing and the air horns mounted down at the front of the chassis. Medium Duty aluminium bullbar.

Don't have the actual delivered date but probably around early 1985.
