Down Bonzo! You know what I like about Biglorryblog? You learn something new every day. For example, did you know that Mack's gold bulldog on the bonnet of an Australian Mack denotes the fitting of the MaxiDyne engine? Well thanks to BLB's Central West NSW Australia BigLorryBlog Contributor Joe Hupp I do now! Meanwhile Joe says: "Hi Brian, it must be a while since a Mack featured on your site! Well here's a R-600 'Flintstone', at the time very Australian! The 'Flintstone' style bonnet is still in use in America on the DM800/RD models!" (And that's another thing I've learnt today.)
This one is a tow truck - BLB Pie Quiz time: what sort of body is on this truck??? (And to see it more clearly click through to the next page--BLB). Meanwhile, Joe says: "Credit for these photos must go to Neil Smith, who was working for Outback Recovery Service in Dubbo, NSW Australia - the owners, David and Patty Swain, are great friends of mine! "
Mmmm...something the Aussies and Kiwis shouild rerally get ...right guys?
Not my specialist subject but it looks a bit like a lightweight Holmes - not a 750?
I am not sure, Bob - all I know is that the truck was auctioned off as a repossession and the people who brought it sent me the photos - it does remind me of a Holmes 750... until I see the truck in the flesh, I can't say!
