Default Special pictures

From time to time when scanning some of my old negatives I've come across some special shots of CMPs, and I present this one of a well-used F60S for starters, taken around 1973 near Warburton, Vic.

Default Hard worker

The cords showing through on the worn tyres are so typical of the many Blitzes that ended up working in logging work across Australia in the 60's and 70's. The cost of a set of spark plugs and oil was probably the only maintenance they saw, yet they continued to work hard. The shine on the rear tyre chains show this truck saw regular use. Great pic.
