if only the european boys had put a few more hp in their trucks, they would'a sold a lot more, heres one for the two B & B s ,from our lineup, not sure what model but a strong lookin' diesel, probably a bit ahead of it's time...jk

Knighty, would probably be something like L4500, L312 or L321 model I would say. The heavier ones on 10 stud wheels were L6600, L325, L330 etc.

:-/Seen this old rig sitting on the side of the road at Wellington today for sale might be of interest to someone

Not one but two! Well maybe one for sale, worth a phone call tomorrow I think.

Last one is rather special, this one took part in the Carmel Mount fires a couple of years back. The crew members went off to try and help a coach trapped in the fire and perished together with the passengers (I think there were about 47 casualties in these fires) but the truck survived lightly damaged, restored and put back in service as a mark of respect.
