Fred sold her to someone in the Newcastle area, I think. NSW anyway . She's now a working beastie according to Andrew Blacklock and Scott Faith who I finally got to meet up with at Dubbo.

Swishman,

I have a record of all B-Models around the world - let me check if it's the same... will let ya know!

Joe, if the Goldspring truck isn't Swishman's beastie, I hope Swish's chassis number is on the registry so at least she's survived somewhere in Oz.

Andy,

Fred's Mack isn't Swishman's one - but I do have a B615RS with the chassis number 1520 and, you'll be pleased to know, she is in the RTHF's collection in Alice Springs! Swish, you sure it was a B615RT?

Totally amazing pics, Swishman. I would love to sit down with you and work out an article on your company's history one of these days.

Good to see you had some taste with the Macks as well. Would be great to see a restored B in your colours. Don't see too many in grey these days.

B42 would have been a rare truck here as B43s and B61s were the main imported jobbies other than the B80 series, from what I have worked out...or I do stand to be corrected! As a B42, she might have been imported before Mack set up shop properly or did you buy her new?

I owned B61T35092 (which, incidentally, now lives half an hour from me in Warragul!!!) and she was a 1960 girl so I would hazard a guess at your B61s with the 711s being 1962?

Excellent news re the B615RS still being around.

You've made my day, Swishman. I really am a Mack man at heart!
