Many years ago,,,connected with a bloke pullin for Cubico,,, he found us on our channel when we were goin down the slide into Melbourne,,,Top Bloke,,can't remember his name,,had an FH12. We always talked and stopped together when we had the time.
Definitely did, from the ground up. The venerable Acco started from an Army contract in the 50s and is still current today. Very simple, very tough, very good. A lot of good simple US components such as brakes, axles and engines were used but chassis and cabs were all home grown. Acco = Australian ‘C’ Cab Over.
I worked for, Vaughan back in the early 80's and i know most of these trucks!
Surprised to to see a few old Brits in there.Bedford,Dodge, Commer,Guy and Atkinson 👍🇬🇧

Yeah I pulled their trailers as well, around 1981-82. Flat tops had cast iron gates filled with concrete, that’s what they felt like anyway.

Great video
Nice

I wonder how many owner/drivers got their start with Vaughan's?
Well, I did.
Heaps they were a good mob to work for 👍👍👍👍👍🦘🇦🇺
Did Australia make their own International cab overs?
Yes they did.
Definitely did, from the ground up. The venerable Acco started from an Army contract in the 50s and is still current today. Very simple, very tough, very good. A lot of good simple US components such as brakes, axles and engines were used but chassis and cabs were all home grown. Acco = Australian ‘C’ Cab Over.
Payment at the end of the run no waiting
“Haulier xxxx, to the office please”
That Ford cabover at 9 08 has to be the only one in Australia?
I think your correct on that one. This one was in the "Truck n bus" magazine I remember. Can't remember seeing any other "Blue mule" trucks.
10.02 thats fast Eddy from Colac in the blue cabover. pretty sure it is .
Is that a Detroit powered Atkinson your talking about?
