Wink Spotted at Orange, NSW

G'Day All,
A work mate just returned from a trip to Orange ("The Big Apple", where they grow cherries) and snapped this photo.
Is this truck one of "ours"?
Treadhead I see you are in Orange, any info?
Cheers,
HH

Justin.
After conducting an extensive investigation, and launching a parliamentry enquiery, I have come to the conclusion that the reason the photo cannot be seen is that IT WAS NOT POSTED.

Yes, looks like Bob's. It's also shown in some of the pics that AJ.LEC has posted of the Dubbo Truck Show.

Yes it is Bob's, it's parked outside his House.
I was planning on popping over to see him on Saturday.

Default Bob's C15

Here is a photo of Bob's Chevys at the MVT show, Southsea Common, prior to shipping to Normandy, 1994.

Two years later, I was in NSW, traveling to Corowa with friends from AMVCS club. We stopped overnight in Cowra where I spotted Bob driving his Blitz in a carnival parade.
