Cheers, Pickles.

Yes for a quite a time Brown & Hurley were the only Kenworth dealers in Australia, but Kenworth also sold direct from the company. Brown & Hurley sold their first Kenworth in 1965 which was an American built truck.
According to the Kenworth website, custom built trucks were imported to Australia from 1965 until the first locally built truck rolled off the Bayswater production line in 1971.
I thought that some were built at Footscray prior to the Bayswater plant operating, but it seems I am incorrect.

cheers, Mick.

I did a good job on the short half shaft, now "zara is back on the road, we ratted some half shafts out of a vehicle and she is driving with the yellow button up

Just as well we have spares here

Ol' No. 1





the Tin Man "naked and tied up"


Some of the 100 strong crowd



This old semi did the trip with a Cat on it's back.

Another fantastic trip report guys. A great turn out by the looks and sounds of it.

Not surprising for a White truck to be so named? They built cars, trucks and tractors from 1910 through 1980 and were one of the oldest auto companies in the USA.
