I used to drive a Renault like that but blue. Also drove a few on muck. Good trucks.

That was a beast John. Rear vision a tad limited! Looks like a Muir Hill 5000 or similar as well.

Looking at the TK with the square skip, am I right in thinking those skips were fully enclosed and with a drop out floor of some description?
If a LandRover doesn't leak oil, it's run out.

Came across this photo the other day at a Australian truck show I reckon Steve might know what brand this ????? ;)

And how about these hot rods that were owned by Greens Transport if Bourke western NSW
Good old Deutz trucks even as road trains , they sold very well out here for some years but fell behind in the power race and that finished them pretty much

a unusual one for the lovers of the French machines , note the windscreens are changed to suit flat glass
This was quite a common mod to all breeds of trucks as broken windscreens were and still are a very common thing in Australia and back then it would take months to get a unusual windescreen for the Berliet

Langfield's Transport from Gundagai

some more of these great old Deutz trucks, I have always had a soft spot for them but rarely see any these days if at all even at truck shows they are all but none existent

Probably the wrong thread to post this in, but bear with me lads, what make is this mobile crane? Looks yankee build, so I reckoned Link-Belt..?
