This one, specially modified, for a particular role is still used, I believe.

I think this one is in semi-retirement, with no modern truck able to fulfill a particular role, as well as this old gadget.

Great pics of the 8 wheeler Contractors “Star down under” Out of intrest do you know if anyone kept a record
of how many were converted to 8 wheelers. Remember reading the Leyland works in Melbourne did the original conversions.
It would be intresting to see a list of the ones operated as 8 wheelers.
