'Cam' in Australia has been looking at the recent postings on Biglorryblog concerning Aussie heavy hitters and has sent me this splendid selection of a very neat 'Big Macks' to go with all the trimmings.
Apparently he thought this was the same truck I posted earlier, albeit with a new colour scheme but he now tells me: "I had another look on your site and it`s not the same one,though it was a flash bit of gear,all the mural`s and paint etc were perfect---before it was repainted in Skelton`s colours,and they only had it for about 6 months or so before they sold their fleet,which was only about 2 weeks ago.All the best,Cam."
Here's the back end of it which looks like it's ready for business either with a semi-trailer or a drawbar.
'Gangster Paradise' indeed....that's a mean old dog for sure. Now click through here for a rather strange looking gearlever that has Biglorryblog foxed...
Amd here it is..looking at the picture I can't work out whether it's two sticks or one stick with an extra knob fitted to it. Can you help Cam?
See what I mean, and if it is an extra knob...what's it for?
Anyway if I understand Cam correctly this is the same truck but in a different 'after' colour scheme..? (And if I've cocked it up Cam I'm sorry! Put if down to old age). Either way great pix of a great truck and thanks.

Hi Brian,It`s got an 18 speed in it,with a 4 speed Spicer behind that.The Spicer knob is mounted on top of the Roadranger knob.Some of the photo`s were taken in the Paint shop,before and after,the truck has got the Renault diffs in it,and had about 4 or 5 TV`s or video screens in it.

Hi Cam, the lower knob looks like a Mack knob rather than a Roadranger one; are you sure it has a Roadranger 18-speed or could it be a Mack 18-speed box plus the Spicer?

Looks like a bit of a handful (pardon the pun) to operate that lot.
