Some one likes a AB ? or 2...

I suspect these or most of these pics are from a story by the poster about that truck and it's colour change, I just collected some Vaughan pics. I have more somewhere. I think...... perhaps a relative of Mr Edwards of Moe, or himself. I think whoever,,in any case.

Back on 24th December 1981 when Jetaway shut their doors an old work mate of mine who was aPUD owner driver had a little 3ton Dyna with a holden V8 in it swapped it and some cash for a Dodge Prime Mover with a 653 GM & went subcontracting for Vaughan's,The Dodge was green & had a white Kangaroo stencilled on the drivers door & boy was it loud the exhaust pipe stuck out just under the drivers side step tank

S"more. same pirate probably....
again many thanks to whoever shared them...

and perhaps not the last, but my big brother making his fortune (not) as an owner driver about 1976 Hume highway near Wangaratta,


I spent some time driving with him, and or waiting for another load in the wrong city and hot bedding in the 20 inch sleeper... and I loved it. Lots of high tarped loads, hand loaded, I think wheetbix one way and Kelloggs the other (Melbourne Brisbane) empty beer cans Melbourne Adelaide and cement back. I was only a casual part time driver, he still does it.

thought a 1418 would belong in this collection....

thanks to the taker.

I agree, much nicer than the square Dodge step tanks.

I never knew he owned any trucks, must have been early , are they R190-R200 ‘s they looked respectable, he must have put a subby on and realised how much he was making, I blew my truck up .... so ! my truck burned down... I hope the freight is ok .... yeah

Used to see Vaughan rigs quite often in Adelaide.
