Golden Oldies Truck Show Part 2: Kenworth W-Model


This immaculate W-Model Kenworth was a real stand out for me! 3406B Caterpillar powered, it also had a Eaton RoadRanger transmission and Rockwell diffs on Kenworth AirGlide 100 8 bag air suspension.

Golden Oldies Truck Show 2010 Review Part 1

The Golden Oldies Truck Club recently hosted their 4th Truck and Tractor Show at the Dubbo Showground. I photographed some interesting trucks and will show them to you in parts!



These two photos are of a 1972 Scammell Routeman MkII 8x2 owned by Hunter Valley Classic Commercial Vehicle Club president Andrew Blacklock - first time to see one of these awesome trucks in real life!


Rod Lovell's 1961 Mack B-61 - now this is not a original 1961 model B-61 as it has a later engine in it! Twin stick Quad box, turbocharged engine and solid build quality make the B-Model a preferred truck for truck restorers world wide!

That's all for now, folks! Part 2 coming soon
