Popular Post kscarbel2 Posted April 16, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted April 16, 2014 Diesel News (Australia) / April 16, 2014Last Saturday, the Australian chapter of the American Historical Truck Society ran an event they call “Crawlin’ the Hume”, a collection of classic trucks making the journey from Melbourne to Albury. The idea was to use as much of the old Hume Highway as possible. To enter a truck in the event, it had to be over 25 years old. Here they are seen climbing along a misty Hume four lane section..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-JNXmU0Dyohttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPjsoVLX1Kw 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vision386 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I looked through quite a few of these videos last night,and when I got to part 11 I was stumped! I consider myself a pretty decent "truck-ologist" but I saw one truck I was un-able to identify! (yes,i am ashamed of myself) if you go to youtube,or follow the posted link,look up part 11,the truck in question appears around the 5:03 mark,it's a C.O.E. straight-job,red with black fenders,and a green tarp covering the body and sadly Green-Leaker powered (sounds like a V-4 or 6)..........maybe one of our Mates in "Oz" can tell me what it is? neat looking truck for sure,just wish I knew what make and model. I re-played the video several times,but still could not makeout the nameplate below the windshield.........................................Mark Quote Mack Truck literate. Computer illiterate.
