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

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.

1969 Mack R600.
1969 C1600 Inter.
1964 MF 35 Tractor.
