Default So you have some competition....

Nice photos Shane.

Any idea what that flat black thing is on the driver's front fender...?

Cheers

Default The Kruse Cab 12

That truck was rebuilt as a 'replica' of the one in the movie "The Back of Beyond".

It has a few modifications including an extended steering column. Not sure what the black thing is. It wasn't there when I last saw it in Alice Springs. That truck sure gets around!

It belongs to Brenton (I think) Kruse, one of Tom Kruse's grand nephews. He lives in Waterloo, S.A.

That was on the way back from the function at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame.

Default Pat 12 Head for Alice Springs

Hi Stuart and Keith

Thanks Stuart for sharing the photo, has been added to my collection. The tag line and the photo are just great, makes you wonder how many CMPs have past over that road and the stories behind their use. Alice Springs is of course an Australian town that people in the rest of the world can lock on to particularly if they are of my generation.

Again thanks for the photo.

Cheers Phil

HI all
A few days ago obtained my NOS Cab 12 roof wood and metal all in great condition and will be used on the next project.
Today Hugh Davies and i went to pick up the Cab 12 but the tyres were stuffed so we were unable to tow. I guess another drive next week will get things sorted out..
However not all bad news got the Portee
