Old SAR was created by GM Diesel
Howdy,

A buddy of mine picked up this SAR for the grand sum of 10 grand a couple of years ago. Picked up the strap trailer for a grand. Splash abit of paint around and it all came up pretty good. 8-)
Went to Alice and back with me and didnt miss a beat.

Does anyone recognize this WA truck ?....for a bundy
Hint : 400 Cummins, double overdrive...140 @1800. Its been shortened a couple of meters from when it had a pan on it...always been single drive.

Recognised this SAR straight away. It was in the March 1987 issue of Truckin' Life. Greg Fearn was the owner then and it was originally from Horsham in Victoria.
