Hi All,
Just a quick line or two to say g'day. Live in Central Vic. Australia, retired now, always been interested in early (1962-1972) AT4 locally assembled Dodge trucks, early recollections of 575's, 675's etc, big bangers in their day with 318-360/361's. Every second fruit marketer seemed to have at least one, overnight paper trucks blistering paint running West, North and South out of Sydney! Once retired from that, seemed to find their way into every second cockies (farmer) hay shed. Still seem to be about, sadly a bit worse off for rust, but many restored show up at truck gymkhanas in noble state.
Don't have one myself, doesn't stop me having a soft spot for them, though.
Cheers, Dave 64

Can anyone tell me if there is an Ozzie forum for these trucks? Seems to be a sub site for earlier AT4's, but can't seem to find much about the locally produced D5N's.
