Hi Barry, you managed to get a copy, thats great. It certainly was a nice truck, be great to see it looking like that again. G&L Stevens ran a tanker operation out of Darwin. Their 1st Mack was an R615RS Flinstone. There was a Cummins powered R700 with a fibreglass cab, it may have been Noel Buntines, he had quite a few. Brambles Manford had some aswell. Wettenhalls in Melbourne bought 4 R700's, 1 had a 320 coolpower, the other 3 had 350 Cummins', the only difference in appearance was the 320 had twin cleaners. I think they all had Mack 12 spd Maxitorque's and 34,000lb rears. I'm workin my way round this computer thing, I'm at the stage were I want to post some pics, just got to get it together. regards jeffro
Hi jeffro, Ive been trolling the net to try and find an image of the truck magazine back in 1976 (i think) having a picture of the 3 wettenhalls mack's with cummins in them. I did see it once by ( mal ashdown) who had a copy and had originally pinstriped the trucks,he has since passed away and family does not have such mags anymore. The reason for my intrest is that i own one of them and rebuilt it back in 1990 with a few mods thrown in.Still has original motor-up rated to 400 with a road-ranger 13rto. According to the manufacture sheet i have on it,it came out with a mack 10 speed and 38's on the rear.
If you know where i can get a copy of mag would be much appreciated. Cheers Jacko
