Trying to track down the owner of a certain rig

G'day All

While attending the Truck Show at Gatton on the weekend I came across this rig and my Grandfather is convinced that it once belonged to his Brother's Company so I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me find out who is the current owner and how to get in touch with them.

The rig is an International Loadstar 1600 seen here


Any help would be appreciated

Hi Red Tail, it's one of Tim Abra from Greenbank's trucks. You'll have to do the whitepages thing mate.

Now for the million dollar question, is "little" Mick still there at 'foxes'?

If that statement is correct, then it was attached to a bitumen tanker when it was worked from the Moorabbin depot, now, can you remember what brand was on the side of the tanker ?

Well there you go, it's a far cry from when he was out and about, eh.

Discomack, when that particular Loadstar started in the yard at Moorabin, it wasn't Mick who was the driver, I can't remember the blokes name, only that he was a 'Charlie Bronson' look-a-like with a ducktail haircut.
It was first used as a bitumen tanker carting BP around Vic and into NSW as well.
When it fronted in the yard, everybody wanted it, it sure looked the bees knees and the sound was real 'noice' as well.

Mick was still pedalling around the state in a ACCO 2150 then, maybe he got the loadstar later when you knew him.
