"Hi Brian, " says Vic, "This is why that Oshkosh camper which AtkiPete sent a photo of had 3 axles. It is certain to be one of the approximately 12 that the Freightways group imported into NZ from Australia in the 1970s. They were 6x4 models, some had GM 2-strokes and some had Cat motors; I think they all had Roadranger 13-speeds and Rockwell diffs. There was also one bonnetted truck imported at the same time; it is now owned and used by Tranzcarr Heavy Haulage.Cheers, Vic." Now click through here for that bonneted Oshkosh...

Originally I think there were 18 E-Series (cab over engines) in 6x4 & 4x2 configurations, and 2 6x4 conventionals - 1 R-Series and 1 F-Series (as pictured).
As far as i know they all went to Freightways.
There's also one of those original E-Series (in 6x4 form) at Bill Richardson's truck museum in it's original Freightways livery...
