Plenty of Whites logging Kaingaroa Forest in the 60/70s ..

A great film!

Awesome. Not my era but man i wish it was still like this. Be only blokes out there doin it that love the hard go. Not every yoho cause driven a trucks cool now.

I’m just wondering is that milk in the crates? Also why use a curtain side trailer? No fridge motor either. I’m guessing it had to be loaded on a dock from the rear at the dairy or manufacturer. Seems like a lot of extra work for nothing!

Even had air start, when you want reliable starting get an air start. Especially if your a long way from home, in remote areas where getting help is a major problem.

Great video Ray, and good on you for preserving the 3 Clutha trucks, whether people like it or not, Clutha are a big part of our recent history, and still relevant today, do you know when White went from 5 spoke to 6 spoke spiders Ray? Keep it safe!

1956 model, WA & in my last few days. I was there, & I remember. I remember all of it. Back in the mid/late 70s I had a White 9000, GM, I think it was a 471. Started with a Bedford J petrol at 14, carting wool bales. Slept in a swag under the trailer. My last was the KW T904 Cat C16 on 6 rod. Mostly pulling triple flat tops out to the mines, mostly East Pilbara, bit of other stuff. Thank you for this upload, I only stumbled on it by chance. What have the bastards done to our country?

Found you mate and subscribed. Well done. I don’t know how I’ve never came across this

Hey Mate can you tell me why the Cab of the Kenny sit so far off the frame ?and why your sportin a single early style bunk from the 60s.

Proper Aussie super truckers...👍

Who owns it now

wow! they were crazy! I love my White 3000!

First Gear makes the White 3000 in 1/34th Scale ..Good Video I learned a lot about one of my favorite Trucks

Thankyou for the ride in your White Ray Grima, sounds great and you certainly know how to drive a truck.

Those were the days.....😢😊🥲

Great video Ray, the old roadcomander and mcphee trailer combo brings back memories. Looks like Goldfields countryside, around Bendigo ?? You can tell a place by the trees and the colours, Victoria has so many different environments.

Those were the days, great video Ray

Great stuff cobber, pity it couldn't have been slown down a bit&without the music(noise) so we could hear the jigger's👍

I do love my 1/24 die cast trucks in action!

The background music in this film is brilliant. Wasn’t expecting this, 70’s electronica. My dad was a truck driver from the 70’s to the 90’s, I really enjoyed the old truck and road footage.

😄Good video, like!

I can't get over how clean the dashboard and instruments are , Mick must have dusted the cab every night.

Semi trucks are normally tough but they cant protect the driver and other motorist around them from injury or death all the time. That's why truckers do a pretrip inspection of their trucks. Everyone is responsible for their own actions even when driving.

Ray, I enjoyed that. We most do it again.

I think that Autocar might be a 12-71 v12s would be better at that kind of work

Good to see great trucking history,how times have changed!???

Hard times create strong men strong men create good times good times create weak men and weak men create hard times There’s nothing weak about these men

Lo Ban A Restaurar ?

Nice gearshifts, wouldn't find many single drive Road Commanders anymore.

I remember Rick Thege he took me for a drive in his A-car with a 6-71 @ the Mt Gravatt showgrounds Brisbaneabout 15 years ago now.

That Autocar would have been flash for the late 70s with tall chrome stacks and a GM.

Lovely Footage

Absolutely splendtendous

Thanks for that, enjoy a bit.of history

Hi ray great truck . Cheers mate

Good old school memories. Thanks Ray

White was purchased by Volvo in 1980 while in bankruptcy. The White name was retained as a brand until 1988 when it merged with GMC to form WhiteGMC. The WhiteGMC brand continued until 1996 when Volvo GM discontinued it in favor of the Volvo name itself.

Great video. Thanks. Do you have a guess what some of these trucks sold for new back then?

Currently restoring an 82 model road boss , chassis has the Cummins 400 big cam with some mods rated 450 hp with 15 direct and fast diffs , good for 95 mph and Alcoa wheel throughout , just 6 wheels and diesel tanks x2 a fully guttered cab inside and out , originally a TNT truck as new , 2nd owner is my boss , had this truck since 1988, only gripes is cabs were not galvanised and rust inside out badly , but I,ll see to it that it's fixed with welding new pieces, bog is for ripples dents etc not for covering bloody rust , fuck I hate people who do that , I feel like walking up to them and belting them in the head and shoveing their head straight in the bog can

Happy new year Ray Grima and Mick Gardiner. Does anyone know how many ks that KW racked up. How is Mick these days

I worked for OGR Iin Adelaide in the mid 70s I remember Saff well , a good bloke as were all the guys there a good crew ,good times,

It's October 30, 2022. Far out I love this footage. When the world was normal and fuel was cheap

Old mate filming "bull bar cam" on the front of White was way ahead of its time. 🤣

MANY THANKS FOR UPLOAD.

my grandfather was a master machinist at White Cleveland during the film's timeframe.

Splendid stuff.

I’m just wondering if that’s the same Autocar I had a steer of at the Windarra open cut nickel mine in WA back in about 1977. I believe Thiess were the Autocar importers, and they had a brand new one at the mine painted yellow. It had a 8V71T and 13 speed Roadranger. The air cleaners were angled forward like in the video and it had a chrome plated Luberfiner on one side and chrome plated power steering reservoir on the other side, just like in the video. It went from the mine to a customer. I’ve got a photo of it at the mine. They didn’t bring many into Australia.

Is that Autocar for sale or how much would they want for it. I'd love to restore that truck. Keep it mainly the same . Engine gearbox etc

What's the deal why are you going downhill in the fast lanes are you in another state or country I'm in California you always merge to the right and you only can use the 1st 2 right lanes

And those stupid greens want to ban these. Nice video.
