Clutha Transport History: White Road Commander

A little bit of road transport history in this blog entry - the company was Clutha Transport....

In late 1976, Clutha Transport commenced a test truck program to evaluate trucks to replace their aging Mercedes-Benz LS1418 fleet - the test fleet were made up of the following trucks:
3x Scania 111's (113, 114, 115)
3x White Road Commanders (116, 117, 118 - chassis numbers TE3074, TE3219 and TE3220)
3x Mack MIR700's (119, 120, 121)
3x Kenworths (122, 123, 124)

This blog entry revolves around White Road Commander 117 (chassis # TE3220) - Ray Grima owns all three Road Commanders and brought TE3220 up to Dubbo for the vintage truck show.... here are a few photos of the truck
