Popular Post skip Posted December 19, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 19, 2013 Gday everyone. I thought I might post a couple of shots of my F785RS, it has just finished harvest for this year. 237 Maxidyne (greatest engine ever) with a 9spd Roadranger. 1970 model. I carted about 3000 tons with it this year.I also included a photo with our other F785RS on the back on the way home from a truck show this year.Regards,Skip 14 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33946-old-australian-f-model/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

russoniellov Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 Hello, great looking truck, congratulations. Was wondering what you're loading with it corn, wheat? What distance did you haul the loads? 3000 tons is a mountain of cereals. Thanks for sharing, got a peek at life on your side of the woods.....

skip Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Thanks for the replies everyone. It is a good old truck,although the cab needs a tidy up, Im hoping to get that done next year. The harvest here in south eastern australia, is mostly wheat with some canola and barley. Average trip for me this year was around 18 mile or so. Most loads on this outfit are between 27 and 28 ton. around 43 ton GCM. Plenty of weight for a 237 to get moving!Now Vladislav you may be thinking of a Superliner tow truck (wrecker) in the red and silver colours. It was owned by the same company that owned my F. It had a wrecker body on it before I bought it, but the previous owner kept it. Those trucks operated north of Sydney on the Pacific Highway.Thanks for the input guys.Skip Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33946-old-australian-f-model/#findComment-222517 Share on other sites More sharing options...
761 Brock Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 Great pair of F's Skip. Nothing like old school trucks! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33946-old-australian-f-model/#findComment-222524 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladislav Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I ment this one. It pained a bit different indeed but has some apperience with your F in common.The restored F is awesome, at least on pics. I saw some of from Dubbo show in the net, they were of a good quality and the truck looked damn attractive.I like to enjoy seeing Macks from your "side of the woods" as was written above.Vlad. 1 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33946-old-australian-f-model/#findComment-222570 Share on other sites More sharing options...
skip Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 Vladislav that belongs to LW & Ck Cocks transport from Eden, which is on the coast between Sydney and Melbourne. They used to have 4 or 5 Superliners and this is their last one, and its still working. They are great looking trucks, Ive been lucky enough to get a few photos of this one over the years 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33946-old-australian-f-model/#findComment-222595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
