There are lots of old trucks near these two blitzs this is just an interesting one i snapped .

the search for more continues ............

Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

My, you have been busy indeed!

That first one is a F60L.

Great finds though - Australia really is the haven for old CMPs, eh?

I really like the cab 12s.

Re: Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

Don't rub it in, eh? :(

Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

Probably why you mistook a long wheelbase for a "Medium". :devil:

"Are you there, Bert? Knock on the table for the number of cartons the old truck is worth. Is that 3 knocks? 3 slabs of VB coming up."

Well the learning curve is steep but i am getting there :bang:

Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

That looks like the remains of a Gar-Wood wrecker body on the back? Certainly well made for a Sawmill job.

Re: Re: Same Woods Different Day .

That looks like the D45 pole derrick ,usually seen on the C-30 model CMPs...
I have the model in my CMP bodies manual as well as the wrecker model..
This pole derrick came in models...D35-45-55-and 65...
FYI...
:remember :support :drunk:

RUB-A-DUB :D

There's a very definitive word for people like you, but far be it from this ol' bastard to invoke rude language in support of his statements! :p

Re: Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

Obviously "Bert" had better taste in trucks than beer! Does anybody still drink VB?

Re: Re: Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

Two possible answers to that intriguing question:

(1) "any port 'n the storm..."
(2) "don't reckon the dead guy will complain too loudly"

Ya see, they don' call me SUNRAY for nuttink!

:drunk:

Re: Re: Re: Same Woods Different Day .
 

VB was the most commonly drank beer in NSW when I was last there..........so what is the most popular one now?

My favourite is Tooheys Old............... :cheers:

I spoke to the owner of the derrick truck several years ago, back then it was owned by the fellow that owned the burnt out truck in this same thread, If I remember correctly he said he got the derrick truck in that configeration from the services (auctions?). He was very happy with the truck and with what it could do. When I last went for a drive past it 4 weeks ago I was disapointed to see it was no longer there, but I was pleased to see it on the other side of town.

Hmmmm James
Going to have to watch you from now on. These field trips and discoveries are a worry, you may be coming over my border soon. I think you had better stay home now and restore what you have. Very well done for all your latest posts.
Bob

VB, n that
 

Richard, When Bob Dillan wrote "the times, they are a-changing" he could well have been singing about beer.
I think VB would still be the most populst for now, but more & more people are switching to boutique & low volume beers such as Boags, Coopers, and many pubs in the citys now brew their own.
Personally the last carton I bought was German, "Konig" Pilsner.
When next within kooee of Ganmain, look us up & experience some good home brew!
Howard

Bob i will do you the courtesy of giving you some warning of any border raids :D
