1956 model, WA & in my last few days. I was there, & I remember. I remember all of it. Back in the mid/late 70s I had a White 9000, GM, I think it was a 471. Started with a Bedford J petrol at 14, carting wool bales. Slept in a swag under the trailer. My last was the KW T904 Cat C16 on 6 rod. Mostly pulling triple flat tops out to the mines, mostly East Pilbara, bit of other stuff. Thank you for this upload, I only stumbled on it by chance. What have the bastards done to our country?
Awesome. Not my era but man i wish it was still like this. Be only blokes out there doin it that love the hard go. Not every yoho cause driven a trucks cool now.
Hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men and weak men create hard times There’s nothing weak about these men
Mate love the old footage.. I recognise some of the old bangers there. Good times.. good to see some of the old companies that are no longer around.. keep em coming.. liked and subbed
A fantastic glimps of history then A selection of gear was run back then, from all corners of the world as I guess it still is today Looks like the remains of a burnt out road train at one stage during the film, it's a bit hard to tell, with the scratchy film, but it's still a treasure of a film Thank you for sharing
Those were the days, great video Ray
Thank you.
Check out my other videos on my UA-cam channel.
that old footage should be shown to new drivers these days, the mud bogg and the scattered freight after the crash.

Paul Griffiths, you are correct that's the burnt remains of a Road Train. There's more film to come also so stay tuned.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for second installment
The. Atkinson tanker road train looked awesome at 19: min mark
Proper Aussie super truckers...👍
Bull good
Real truck drivers
I was thinking the same thing mate “😄👍
Now they don't know how to change spider wheels!
This looks about 74?? Back in the days when i was a little fella vintage 1968!
It's from 1976.
@@raygrimaoldschooltrucking3100 oh well I wasn't too far off, just the difference between an HQ Kingswood and an HZ!
Plenty of Whites logging Kaingaroa Forest in the 60/70s ..
At the 18min 50 mark an extremely rare cabover M-A-N.
Sure is.
It had a Detroit Diesel in it too. It would be a real screamer.
Some of those cab over M.A.N.s had a 10 speed column shift or "10 on the tree" as we would say.
Dora ran one of those as a rigid up into the gulf.
