Found the old TAC ad on youtube of that black louie and ute above.

Don't know if I had a hand in that blue one Chocs, or did you hit crackers up for a set of flaps?
The big tray truck was a ripper too, complete with remote sliding drawbar on the trailer to keep those pesky Scalies at bay
Remember one night he dropped a valve or something going into Jugiong, hitches a ride home and comes back with all the gear and fixes her up beside the Pub.
Something you wouldn't see these days.
Did I see the same blokes name on a 3070 in town there a few weeks ago?

The blue one came from down there Raggsie..
Used to run the North Coast..

Yes the tray truck was a good thing..
I played a part in that one too, we built the bunk after it fell over as a prime mover up near Euroa??
And yes the 3070 is his, ex Pococks, has had it a long time now..
Has a cabover now also, hauls a bit of wood out of your way sometimes...

Is he doing the old truck circuit as well ?
I really need to catch up with some of these blokes its been 15 years since I have seen him I reckon.
