    Very interesting piece of Clutha mines history must be near broken Hill somewhere. H.W Crouch Sydney and Duce commercial motors Brisbane were both White Motor Corporation Dealers.

    My father and grandfather worked for Clutha in the coal mines at the back of Oakdale. Nice to see an old blue truck in good condition. Love the sound of that 6v92 as well.

    Back in the 70s in vic my old man had a dodge fully tarp running east west the old petrols it was about 3 yrs old and this bloke had bought one of these brand new running east west any way on the flats he was rounding the old man up but as soon as they got to a big hill the man was leaving him dead like he was going backward 300 mile down the road they both pulled up for a feed and a cuppa the bloke in the white came across pretty pissed off and said I just bought this fn thing and your leaving me for dead what you got under that fn bonnet the old man and brother looked at each other and laughed and replied ( it’s not what’s under the bonnet son he said it’s what under the fn tarp , what’s that the bloke in the whit said my old man laughed FOAM hahahahah

      Kevin Aylesbury I’m from Texas USA and am fascinated with Australian trucking.....one question wats does tarp mean out there?🤷🏾‍♂️

    • @andrewking9761
      @andrewking9761 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@tinyistobig Hope your still with us. Yes tarp is short for tarpaulin and in the 1980s a trailer maker invented the "Tautliner" a flat trailer with curtains basically preventing injuries etc. But strictly for palletized loads only as you can't fit over dimension loads. One thing is for sure Detroit engines were very popular on long distance and overnight trips. The 6V92T, TA or TTA 330hp with turbo, 350 with after cooling or 270hp with a high torque range. A very compact, lighter weight engine. Adequate power and incredible durability and good on fuel.
