Cop a Load of This

Another oldie

In 1974 ,me and Bruce Dickson bought NM 6x6 Macks from Moorebank Sale ,....Peter Murray from Northside Truck Spares bought some too........his yard was at Pennant Hills.......He sent a towie with a AA148 to pick them up ......the t0wie also towed ours out onto Anzac Ave Moorebank ,so we could get them going......Thats a AA148 towing 10 tons.

I remember Peter Murray’s yard well. It’s long gone now.

I think can, I know I can !

This is a nice photo from New Zealand.

An 8 square belfry for a church steeple??? A very good job of loading for the time frame..
What is the truck???

Each time I have been to New Zealand I have seen much more modern trucks than that one.:woohoo:

Brocky45 I believe the truck is either a Word War one era Thornycroft or Leyland. (both made in England)

I have a windsrceen/front panel of cab, exactly like the one on the truck. It was given to me by an old mate who said it was from a Leyland.

Appears to be a 1913 AT model Thornycroft. Cab is home made. Acetylene lights put the photo before ww1.
Looks like there is a line still attached to stop it falling over.
