Tankers I drove in the 60s
Yep, quite a few actually, the old snoopy truck wasn't a good jigger in their day, a bit pricy for them days.
Drove one of 'em here in Brisbane for a while, was an ex Golden Fleece prime mover with a 6 V 71 fitted, straight thru 6 inch pipe with a useless muffler, boy did it holler/bellow with about 25 ton of paper on it's back.
The only real down side was it kicked like a mule when running empty, the wheelbase was only 120 inch and it was fitted with a Hendrickson walking beam suspension too. Brings tears to me eyes just remembering the rough riding mongrel.
