A few dirt carters that got about Melbourne AS & J Liapis mixed bag of Kenworths, Riddell Cartage blue & white Macks, Roughan Haulage best fleet of SAR tippers in Melbourne ended up in the Boral fleet. Interstate mob that had scmick black Western Stars Lakeland Transport no idea where they were based or what happened to them banks I guess?
Seeing that pic of the Transwest ammonium nitrate rigid with trailers takes me back to my time as a kid at Hamelex as a electric glue stick holder cutting down one of those bodies to fit up on a cab over KW for a ready mix mob from somewhere in Vic longtime ago now.

Branca Transport was another, I bought a 684 T Fiat off them in 1974 somewhere near Blackburn Melbourne I think.
Im trying to think of the name of a company who ran Kenworths , cab overs, red, real nice trucks, always in immaculate condition Italian name in the 70‘s they had one with a 12V GM in it , saw it at the truck Drags in Melbourne Calda. But I cannot think of the name. Let me know if think of it.
