It is all good werk, just checking to see if anything had come to light

Busy busy, seems to be common for a lot of us of late

If the Kenworth book is as good as the Mack book it will be a keeper for me
And I hadn't heard of a book on the kiwi Pacific trucks

Yeah ... There's just never enough time these days. The KW book will be just as good as the Mack one.

No plans for a Pacific book that I know of ... Yet ... But due to my research into Pacific here in Aus,vi gained a lot of knowledge/info on the NZ ones too. Although there seems to be a lot of guys into NZ truck history, I'm surprised that nobody has gone as in-depth as I have so far...
But any which way it turns out ... The research I do will be there for anyone/everyone to use in the future.

Not a Kenworth, a very custom Diamond T

Another thing that I saw and got distracted by, it doesn't take much to distract me truck wise

Greg Wood post

Courtesy of Michael Lake, Seattle Kenworth Australia site.   'Z' commonwealth number plate, can't work out which department on the door.

 

And

Eddie Haskell post

From memory that photo is out of a "Kenworth down under magazine" ???  Snowy Mountain Authority...  A extremely rare one of a kind L924....

 

Anyway, I wonder if these are the same model truck ?
