Dunno mate, ask him (Steve).

That AEC cattle road train has a bunk in the box above the cab I think. Probably as a rest area when double manning rather than for overnight stops. I remember Buntine had an A-triple with a sleeping/resting area on the chassis behind the cab. I heard that drivers stopped using it after a manhole was left onlocked on the first hot asphalt tank and on the first application of brakes swamped it with the product.
The upright is a tipper ram, I think the truck is an ex-military GMC.
I think the upright is an exhaust pipe, you can see the black smoke! Think the trailer is a cattle box.
I think youâre right about the exhaust, not so sure about it being a cattle crate.
Never mind the wagon, have a look at that road surface. Now thatâs a thing (@star_down_under @spardo wouldâve sold their grannies for that)
How old do you think I am?
I must sdmit, when the Landsborourgh Highway was finally surfaced between McKinlay and Kynuna, I thought it was a race track and treated it as such.
Beyond your third 21st birthday?
Yes, the bit on the right of the picture is more what I was used to for a time.
Close enough.
Weâd sell our grannies for surfaces like that in the UK now!
Feeling your pain. Dare I suggest itâs climate change causing the roads to break up, worldwide?
No, I feel sure itâs these damn EVs that are tearing up our roads due to the weight of their batteries and the obscene power they develop!

141? Not quite a factory fitted bumper, its been pinched off a Kenworth.
Without badges I donât know how to tell a 14 from an 11 litre?
The sleeper seems to have air kit on the back, but even accounting for that seems longer than standard. The standard sleeper has rear quarter windows and ends just aft of the wheel arch. That 'un seems longer to me?
Something not right about it.Didnât the sleeper panel behind the door have no cut outs, that looks like a 112/142 back panel.
