Young Ed Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 What kind of truck is that? The cab looks IHC but it clearly says dodge. Quote

Tony WestOZ Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 This is an Australian D5N. 300 series by the look of it. Chryser Australia started producing the cabs for International (based on the US Inter design) in 58 for their AA line. From 62 onwards as well as producing for Inter (AB,C and D models), Chrysler Australia started using them for their Dodge AT4 series of trucks after finally discontinuing the Pilothouse line. The AT4`s ran from 62 to 73 with the D5N`s from 73 to 79 when Chrysler Australia shut down. The only real difference between the look of the Inter`s and the Dodge`s from 62 untill 79 was the grill area. Quote
48Dodger Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Shel_bizzy_48, sorry about the crash..Hope everyone is Ok. Pat, thanks for picture. I was trying to explain a roo guard to someone at work the other night. I read an article (years ago) that included the experience of driving in the outback at 90-100 miles per, and having a 200 lb Kangaroo land right in front/on top/ inside of your vehicle. Hence the big ol' roo guard. Has to leave a heck of a mark...... 48D Quote
Tony WestOZ Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I have not hit one at 90 to 100 mph, luckily, as there is not much chance of walking away from the wreck at that speed. I have taken out a few (up to 4) but luckily they have not resulted in a lot of damaged, thou the one on the motorcycle was an experience. Down here we don’t call them roo guards. If it is on a car or small 4x4 it’s a "roo bar", if it’s on a truck it’s a "bull bar". Bull bar you say, yes, up in the Northern Territory were I spent a few years kangaroo’s are the least of you problems. Cattle, wild horses, donkeys, and camels are the ones you have to watch out for.

Don Coatney Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 Deer ran in front of my truck on the way home from bowling. I never heard of a deer bowling. What is his average:confused: Quote

The pictures I saw (again, long time ago) were pretty bad. The vehicles were pretty tore up. Almost look like 2 vehicles were involved. 48D Quote

Plymouthy Adams Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I got a strike in that game..you rarely have to pick up a spare.. Quote
Norm's Coupe Posted January 24, 2008 Report Posted January 24, 2008 I've only hit one and didn't hit that one first. Guy going the opposite way hit it first, then threw it into my lane on impact, then I just ran over the deer. Had about $500 damage to the van. That was about 1992. The other car kept going after hitting the deer. While sitting in the cops car filling out the report some guy came up and ask if he could have the deer. Cop said it was mine if I wanted it, so.............since I don't care for deer meat told the guy he could have it and the three of us put it in the back of his pickup. Quote
Jim Yergin Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Last month I became an ace when I hit my fifth deer in the last ten years. The first two were in the 1938 Packard I used to drive. Luckily in all cases I was able to drive the car home. Jim Yergin Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Venison related..... A man and his friend were enjoying Deer Hunting Season in rural Turkey Foot, Kentucky near a blacktop highway.A huge buck walked by and the hunter carefully drew his bow and took careful aim. Before he could release his arrow, his friend pointed at a funeral procession passing on the road below their stand. The hunter slowly let off the pressure on his bow, took off his hat, bowed his head and closed his eyes in prayer. His friend was amazed. "Wow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I have ever seen. You are the kindest man I have ever known." The hunter shrugged. "Yeah, well, we were married for 35 years Quote
Don Coatney Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 Must have been his putter strung up in his bow. He has no more use for it:D Quote
