Now here's an interesting beastie. A Mack Qantum 10x4. And how does Biglorryblog come to have this picture. Well it's all down to 'AtkiPete' Lynch in Oz who tells me: "G'day Brian, Cam from Queensland runs a business building tilt trays (when not hanging around vintage truck auctions! ) and sent down some photos of his 'family-size' version."

And as BLB readers will know the Qantum is the Aussie-built Mack with a Renault cab atop a US-style driveline. Anyway Pete goes on to say: "Here are a couple of other photos in there, including an ACCO of course, to keep me happy.. "

Now click through here for a Western Star with a big CAT on the back....

Pete concludes: "Not sure what that big 'donk' is on the back of the Western Star, maybe one of your Army can give us the low down. Tilt trays are used for carrying machinery, excavators, rollers, containers, site sheds etc, etc. Anything that can be winched on board, The Mack also has removable front and rear gates, so it can do a load of general freight if needed. Cheers Pete."

So for a pie, BLB army...what's the big CAT on the back?
