Drive About Truck Pics

Would appear to be a wrapper, rather than a painter, Brocky.

I am assuming the owner is in the sign /  graphics business??? And this is a mobile shop???
 

Looking at their website they are a wrap slash paint protection business based in Melbourne but with locations in most states. I trawled their website and Facebook page and there is no pictures or mentions of the Acco which is a missed opportunity for such a unique piece of marketing.

Not actually drivibg about but walking out the front. This Kenworth, so Im told by tge driver is one of 75 specially built by Brown n Hurley. This is #8 of tge builds n #1 went to Kenworth. Its called the Diamond Series being 75 years of Kenworth trucks. Long wheel base plus extra length in the sleeper cab to take a full double bed. Named Rough Diamond. 

Greetings. One of these two Road Commanders  once looked like this 

I took those photos today when we visited the Virginia Nursery. Collectors' would despair.

This was from the XPT train at Cootamundra station last week. Actually trying to snap a couple of pics of SSR (Southern Shorthaul Rail) colourful Streamliner diesels which are so often there.

From some of the tells, I reckon this K100 would be circa 1975-76, left hand side cab mounted exhaust stack, RHS cab mounted air intake, round high mount indicators but I don't recall seeing the US lower cab steps before here. Late style Alcoa's ?

 

What do you other rivet counters think.?

Bugger. Snapped only one diesel but no Streamliners

 


 

Greetings. We recently hired a camper from Apollo and went for a tickey-tour. The cook wanted to visit a chum near Torquay so we did a big loop via the Murray River on the way there and the way back inland to the South Australian border. Got caught up in that dust storm a few days back - just short of Accommodation Hill there was a Police road block to stop traffic driving with limited vision- you may have seen the Collin's truck on the TV news that didn't stop until he had to. Anyways, a chum that has done some work with Booth tankers said he was shown a Grey Ghost when doing a delivery to a farm between Lameroo and Pinnaroo in Sth Australia. that's all the info i had to go by and unfortunately, we were in those towns on a Sunday so no farm related shops were open where I could do some homework to try to find the farm. Bugga. So here's my travel photos. Pete
 

I remember been at a clearing sale at Birchip and they had a Timber Jack, reckoned it would of been just the thing on a dairy farm, little 53 series GM
My asked what I would want it for, pulling calves was all I could think of

Yes the darling rain was a tad heavy in spots a few nights ago

Paul that skidder next to the Commer had a 3-71 so the fella tells me when I asked if I could take some photos. The Ford tractor was garden art and the home owner re-cycled scrap into all sorts of garden art. I got the impression there was very little employment opportunities in Nulliwal  But i still need to find that Ghost so we'll have another fun run after the cold season. Pete
