Interesting fibreglass moulding just above the side indicator, looks more straightened off at the lower edge compared with Aussie ones, three piece roof, flatter front grab handles.

.A bit of family nostalgia ………………
59 years ago today, 27 /0 5 / 1959, was a memorable day for our family for two reasons........………….
First was the birth of our first daughter..................
Second, that was the day i started with Jones Bros Carriers in Wetherill St Lidcombe.............
My wife always reminds me of the fact that i chose to be with Morry Jones instead of being with her..........
My only defence is , in those days men were turfed out of the delivery area...............

.................................Billy..............................

I used to be a truck driver,
but i am now not a truck driver ,
on a good day i can remember
that i used to be a truck driver.
