And now for Biglorryblog's one and only famous Aussie farmyard impression..."Bruce! Where'd you leave the bloody tractor?!" Ithankyew...anyway that's not why I've called you all here.. Joe Hupp, Biglorryblog's Central West NSW Australia contributor has sent me these two shots and says: "Hi Brian, I thought I had better send you something so you all know I haven't fallen off the face of the earth! These are photos of a nice Dodge owned by a friend of the family - he uses it as a hay truck on his lucerne farm just on the outskirts of Dubbo where we both live! I would like to get some photos of the other AT4 in the shed but, as it was nose in and I only had my trusty mobile telephone/camera with me, they wouldn't turn out! Joe."
And click through here for another shot and a question to all BLB's beloved anorak army regarding Dodge trucks down-under...
Joe adds this PS: "If anyone has brochures/information on these and the other Australian made big Dodges (yes Martin P and AtkiPete, that means both of you!!!), I would like to see them! Click on the name link on the comment which I will post first and email me from the website which comes up!"
Here's where I can be contacted - click on my name here! It will then open a website and you can then click on the Contact Me link and my email address is there!
Gday Joe,
I did a brief article on Aussie Dodges a while back and will send you a copy. There is a chap called Lance Hocking currently doing a book on them but it is at least 6 months off. As you probably know the cab on the truck above is the same as the Inter C Line, designed by IH but built by Chrysler in Adelaide.
Regards Pete
Howdy Pete!
I thought it might have been - now you have confirmed it for me! I know of a C-Line and I sort of remember the shape and, yes, it is the same!
Joe
