I remember driving these across the Nullarbor first the road boss then a road commander, great had a sleeper. Brings back memories. I remember getting passed by Toranto s and rockasanos because i was too slow. Only allowed to do eighty then. My god a trip down memory road. Lot has changed. Bravo from Victoria Australia

My father and grandfather worked for Clutha in the coal mines at the back of Oakdale. Nice to see an old blue truck in good condition. Love the sound of that 6v92 as well.

Very interesting piece of Clutha mines history must be near broken Hill somewhere. H.W Crouch Sydney and Duce commercial motors Brisbane were both White Motor Corporation Dealers.

Kevin Aylesbury I’m from Texas USA and am fascinated with Australian trucking.....one question wats does tarp mean out there?🤷🏾♂️

@@tinyistobig Hope your still with us. Yes tarp is short for tarpaulin and in the 1980s a trailer maker invented the "Tautliner" a flat trailer with curtains basically preventing injuries etc. But strictly for palletized loads only as you can't fit over dimension loads. One thing is for sure Detroit engines were very popular on long distance and overnight trips. The 6V92T, TA or TTA 330hp with turbo, 350 with after cooling or 270hp with a high torque range. A very compact, lighter weight engine. Adequate power and incredible durability and good on fuel.
