I put a photo of this truck on here about two and a half years ago. This photo was taken yesterday, it's still working as well as ever.

That is an interesting old Leader, I thought the ones with the first cab, as in the cab with the F model Mack windscreens, all had 3208 CATs in them with 613 Roadrangers. That one looks like a 15 speed in it, what sort of Cummins motor has it got? The front axle doesn't look Leader either.

I'm with you, Cam....

Actually, it Looks like a Steel cab to me.Look at the Mudguard under the Drivers Door..
But then It has the roof mounted air intakes like all early Leaders had....... :-/
