Biglorryblog's favourite Aussie tilt tray provider Cam McFadyen at South East Queensland Tilty Tray http://www.seqtt.com.au/ has been in touch to say: "Hi Brian,I haven`t sent you any tilt tray pics for a while,this ACCO should get Pete excited,we`ve just finished it today, I`ll see if I can find some pics of a European truck to keep them from the mother country happy! See Ya,Cam."

Cam continues: "I'm assuming you get these things over there, [and by that BLB assume he means the Actros eight-legger] they`re not that popular here, though we`ve put tilt trays on a couple. On an entirely different subject,I only just worked out elfin safety was the shortening slang for work place health and safety, hit me with a brick and call me stupid!"

Well I'm certainly not about to hit any Aussie with a brick and call him stupid Cam..least of all you!

Last but not least here's a nice little 'un which Cam describes thus: "Hi Brian,this one is for the one eyed Mack man,aka Gary Richards.This is a body we did for Mack for the 2005 Brisbane Truck show.I`m pleased to say the truck still looks great, albeit painted Blue.Tornado Tilt and Crane bought it after the show and painted it their colours. I believe (and Gary may know for sure) that Tornado where the largest operators of Mack Midlums in Australia,

Cam adds: "I lost count of how many trays we have done for them on a lot of different chassis.I must say there is absolutely no malice in calling Gary a 'one-eyed Mack man'. Mack Trucks Australia were established in Brisbane roughly 50 years ago,and their employees tend to be quite loyal!"

Great Photos Cam, would love a copy of that ACCO one. Brian must have forgotten that ACCO is an abbreviation for Australian C Line Cab Over and as such deserves capital letters.
Also you might find Gary Richards is really an Atkinson man deep down.

Nice little set up.. Very Versatile unit that one.
