Howdy All,

I was having a chat with another Transtar fan yesterday about Bunkers having some cabover Tranny's in the early days.
Would anyone have a picture of one of them ?...or remember them.

I've been talking with Tony Petch who is a truck historian over here about some other stuff. He's sure to have some photos as he has a huge collection of working truck photos. Do you know him?

Some play hard to get

Hi gents, I worked as a dockhand and on the tarping crew at TNT Coward St, Mascot in Sydney in the early 70's and remember the Bunkers Transtars, there was two and they were the Adelaide shuttle trucks, 250 Cummins, 15 O/D. Years later a Alltrans subbie named Laurie Farrington in Sydney bought one of them, i will contact him and see if he has any pics as I remember the day he got it , it still looked good.
Cheers, Peter
