Cam, how about making a phone call to that bloke you know, who used to work at White Trucks ?
Got a funny felling that there were some Road Bosses that did have that extended hood, and made at the Boundary Rd premises too.
One that springs to mind, is one brumbles had, it was made for the Darwin mob, it was rated for road train work, then it came back to Bris and the w@nkers- er drovers, at Long Distance at Acacia Ridge had no idea of how to drive it at all, so H/H at Hendra were told to go get it and put it to some good use.
It had a 3406, Spicer 5 x 4 G/Boxes and Eaton diffs on 6 rod. The bonnet on this particular jigger, was a tad longer and heavier, than the Road Boss I had me dot planted in.

Cam,
yeah, its a funny looking thing, eh? Would be a great looking truck done up, I'm not sure if it was original or not, but you could definitely see where the bonnet was extended. Was 6 cyl Cummins powered, and it went to Mackay from my memory? Hopefully someone will show up on here one day with a restored long bonnet Road Boss!
I reckon they are a great truck..
Cheers
Richard
