Some old truck pics.

Thought I would toss up some pics of trucks out this way.
First one is a 1954? Chev, it is owned by a mate, he did the body side of things himself and asked me to get it running and stopping.
Overhauled all brakes, rebuilt wheel cylinders and master cylinder, new brake linings, new rubber hoses and new metal pipes, also got the motor started and running, converted to 12v and wired it up from scratch.




Here are a couple sitting out at Arltunga.






I work for an aboriginal health organisation and get to go bush a fair bit, this one is in South Oz


This one is about 30kls past the airport.




This one I had for a while but have since sold it on.




All the rest are in South Oz.





















Hope you all enjoy.

I love rusty things they look good also in black & white lets see some more. Dave

When is the reunion, as I said I am very new to trucks and have never been to the reunion. A few years ago there must have been a big one as they did a parade up the highway, I went out and watched that.
I have been to the RTHOF a few times and take visitors when they come to town.
Diesel is about $1.50 at the moment.

Seen in Tocumwal last week, couple of old Albion's. The old red girl didn't even look too bad!

BH, the reunion is 27 28 and 29th of August, by all accounts you locals will notice as there will be some 1000 extra trucks in town??????????? and one scruffy old ACCO amongst em

With those dates then yes I will be in town and can come along to say hello to a few people.
I will be out bush (looking at more old cars including what is reported to be a Charger 6 pack and an old VW Kombi possably a split screen) the second week of August.

Who should I see at RTHOF to see about donating Bedford?
Is it Liz?
I will keep the Beddy till I put my shed up, then if they want it they can have it, as long as it isnt just going to be left out the back.

Forgot to add, here are some pics I managed to take this morning now that I have fixed my camers.
















I then went up the stairway truck and looked down into the back of Dodge bed, yes, that is a frozen wheel in the back, did I mention it was cold this morning?










I had a look at the stairway today, they actually extend out the same length they currently are (double its current height), plus the top flat platform can be extended forward about 2 metres.

BH, hope you can get the overnight temps up a bit, I could stay home and freeze....


that sims metal Dodge looks like its got a Joey box in it, is that one that you are going to make a car transporter out of??? It might have a fair turn of highway speed already....

Could be the hoist control Sarge,, Seen one the same setup, Pull up the button on the side of the stick (P.T.O), leaver back puts hoist up. Leaver foward lets hoist down,..Was a few old tippers setup that way. Just saved reaching down to the floor for the controls... But as someone says,,,,,, I do stand to be corrected.
