The Ford survived. ARN C5944? was a F60S 3 1/2 cu yd Tipper that was eventually disposed of complete, the batch of numbers going either back to Ford Australia or to a variety of local councils (no dates given).

The Holden is a mystery. C61125 was apparently the registration for a Chev C60L, with no indication of when the reg was transferred to the Holden. I would have thought the Holden might have been written off, which might have dated the photo.
