WB Hunter's SAR Kenworth (where is it now?)

Hunter's paint scheme was simple yet effective, they looked good running 31. Smart looking fleet. Did they have a store in Wang?? LHS heading north into town?

Thats a great photo Ray. I thought ya might be going out to Micks when I saw the Photo.
Stomper.

ha ray that sar spec was the same as finnemores no battery box on left no horns on the roof they were under the bonnet 400 cimmins 13 speed on torsion bar the the only ones to have that bullbar the 2 middle uprights wherent very high some had no sunvisors and a tachograph in the dash

Hi Crashbox, yes the Hunters colour scheme was very effective and distinctive. And you are right, Hunters had and still have a hardware & produce store in Wangaratta. They still have shops in Shepparton, Tatura, Echuca, Euroa, Corowa, Yarrawonga and Katandra. But they once had stores in other towns, such as Kyabram and Moama. The Moama store came about due to the freedom of the road laws and regulations during the late 50s (maybe 60s?) but that's a whole other story!

Hey Crackers, I think you are correct as this SAR did originally have the air horns under the bonnet and also has the tachograph on the dash. I've thought that she was an ex Finemores myself.
Cheers Ray.

Thanks for that Ray, please post re Moama store somewhere. Good to know the history etc. And I reckon you and Crackers are on the money, I steered a few of those red n white SAR's...

I have been told that this SAR is in Kalfresh produce yard 5 KMs north of Aratula, (bottom of cuninghams gap ,QLD) still in hunters colours

Gidday Jake,

Yep what Melon said. Saw it loading at Aratula on Friday at the produce stores just north of town. Still looks the part. Now running a chrome bumper instead of the bullbar.
