In the age of the possibility of high-speed rail, large trucks seem outdated.

Greetings, Sounds as sweet as a nut. We would chase them on our bikes up past Ford to Craigieburn in the Sixties. Could keep up with them when a strong Northley was blowing. I am overhauling a 1959 Stationary Model TS -3 used for pumping underground water in Bordertown SA. Same as the truck engine with a different Governor and hand clutch. If anyone could guide me to a set of Piston Rings for a 3 1/4" Bore it would be much appreciated. Keen to keep this Magical Engine Singing. Thanks

Just loved the old timers, never see any French trucks like the Berliet and Saviem in Australia, I went around North Africa in a Berliet in the 1980's. I spotted a pommy ERF at Condobolin Show a couple of weeks back, will post a video.

That's a Dodge Fargo isn't it? When I was a wee lad a railway sleeper cutter out of Chewton used to have one of those in late 1960's. Going to do a video walk of an Austin K8 circa late 1950's at Condobolin NSW, not many of them left these days Craig.

@@truckingjohnno7Thanks for your comment mate, yea I remember the tautliners starting to come in. Time indeed stops for no one, to be honest I still have one foot in the 80s, such a monumental influence on my life. A LOT of big days, being a skinny little runt I would never complain, had to try to keep up with the others. I loved those blokes hard, tough but a lot of laughs, often at my expense! Any excuse to put shit on someone ha ha. Definitely characters. you mentioned flat tops, I'm actually surprised that when I see one these days most of those boys have done a good job of tarping. I thought that art would die out. The vid brought back lots of memories, thanks.
