This is a replica of a truck my dad use to drive here in my home town of Adelaide, Sth Australia. He work carting rolls of paper for the local newspaper printers, in the 60's the engine was upgraded to a then modern heavy duty 4 cylinder but it atill sounded like the old Mack motor was in because of the exhaust. AC Mack with rolls of paper, built stock box with a few mods.

Good enough for me and the girls I went with. I have seen these kits on eBay but like a lot of other kits, the price has gotten clear out of hand. Any way...good job. Win

Hi there Trucky
I suppose this old gal would have been worked in a very hot and dry atmosphere that it remained useful into the 60's. If that had been in Scotland I am sure it would have rusted to hell and back that they would have been getting to the end of its tether, other than as a preserved buggy in somebodies truck fleet.
It would be nice to look back some of the 60's archive footage to see how many trucks of this generation were still working hard in wet and windy Scotland.
Nice work
Nige
