There ya go

interesting how the VOLVO sign just popped up....


/me

Thats a good lookig gadget, chipmonk! It's kind of familiar. buggered if I know why tho...

volvo's seem to be popping up lately in conversation, but the main question is this kw it's been changed a bit hendrickson,shepherd steering,the owner thought it was originally a 250 cummins, 300 now

allow me to fill in a bit of a history on this,i remember it was owned by a feller from taren point (nsw).the said feller also had a w of about the same vintage.both trucks were on containers and general for a while.this truck was plain white.he owned it for about five years,that was about fifteen years ago,so on my magical 12v71 powered calculator,that was 20 years ago!someone perch up my s#&t memory,his name was billy.he was a diesel mechanic,had his own workshop.i could have sworn this was radically modified and had a gm in it at one stage,but I cant remember for sure.those from Sydney would remember his w900,it was dumped abandoned beside the railway behind the shops in enmore.he scored the truck for nothing,complete running truck.it was ex j&J woods.hope this info helps

thanks seem to be getting nearer to it's original owner the bloke who owns it has had it for 20 odd years hauling for blue line transport and others

Blue line transport is basically JJ Woods renamed.

I have recently purchased this truck and looking to get it onto club rego and out on some runs after sitting for about 3 years. A big thankyou to Jim Hurley for tracking down the original spec of the truck, see below:
KW K125R 11/68 EXPORT STOCK
F/Axle Rockwell FE900TW R/Axle Rockwell SQHD @4.44 Ratio TBB Suspension
Trans.RT910 Eng.CUMMINS NTC-335 W/BASE 160" CAB 76" No weights shown
NB This a sister truck to one sold to G & N YAGER ch 111909

Here is a pic of the sister truck sold to G & N Yager ch111909

Long time ago now, but I'm thinking Billy Coombes in Paraweena Rd, Taren Point, good mechanic and atop bloke,
one of the Miller Bros ex Sans Souci would remember more.

JJ Woods, Bill Rudd, a real character, good to subbie for and good rates.
