Truck Show at "Boof" Wedding's Yard

Andy

That LAD Leyland is in fantastic condition, but it isn't a Comet. The Comet had a different version of the cab, remember? To get into a Comet you had to climb over the wheel, as in the Dodge version, it didn't have the step in front of the wheel. My guess is that it is a Beaver.

Spotted the Whites Vic,very nice thank you.The Road Boss looks like it`s nearly new it`s that tidy.Boof sounds like a generous gentleman.I saw a pic of that F model in a Bulldog Bulletin and it looks exactly the same,so the boys have done quite a job on it.

hi VIC sure are some nice pics. thanks for going to all the hassels of uploading..

Andy Andy Andy what are we going to do with you ....you are loozin it ----fancy gettin it wrong with a leyl---

Nice thanks for that

Andy! What happened. The really remarkable thing about the Beaver is that it still has the alloy steps - If anyone knows where I can get a pair let me know. By the way that LAD Reiver up here is still looking unloved.

i liked the hilux ute the most!!! great pics vic thanks

That Hilux was kept busy too!

I realised that this afternoon when I was daydreaming about that truck and realised it had long doors. Sorry to let the side down, lads!

Have you found a big trailer yet, Pat? I'll have the motive power next week.

Well spotted, Swishy, you are right - Steptoe is a Canadian KW. You can't really see it in that photo but above the KW1965 on the number plate is the word Canadian. A lot of the early KWs in NZ came from Canada and a few years ago some guys still imported them privately from there as they could get them cheaper than buying the Aussie ones from the dealer here. I don't think that has happened for a while now, though.

Next time Boof Wedding puts on a show, I'll send you an invite. I don't know whether I'll be able to persuade him to to provide a little train or merry-go-round though, but I'm sure the beer and food will be no problem!
