'MAIL for the Back of Beyond' by John Maddock has a good history of the Birdsville, Strzelecki etc mail runs, including the operators and their trucks.

Thanks Allan, I think that may well have been the book I once had, I recollect the cover showed an old Blitz mail truck coming over a sandhill

"Escape from Iran: The Canadian Caper (1981)" is a Canadian movie about the time the Canadian embassy saved a batch of Americans when the Iranian Shaw was deposed. I don't have the movie but in the opening scenes there is a Chev 15cwt wireless van dressed up as a Iranian army truck. I know because it was my truck they used!!
