That’s the one Bonkey , what a beast it was . The late Eddie Smith ran it as a tipper but it was only a 24 tonner . They also had an s20 with a boom lift and an ex army tank winch at the time . I remember them building that s39 wrecker , we all got stuck in and brush painted the body , long time ago now !
Was the S36 a ‘Croft lorry? Seen a pic of the S39s they had.
I don’t recall Bonkey , definitely an “import “, all our old s36 motors had chrome bumpers . By that time I was breaking the sound barrier with gba520v with the overdrive Fuller , I’d grown out of Gardners .
That Toodyay Foden is a Twinload, a rigid 8 with a 5th wheel at the back end, a concept short lived in the UK, not sure how long it lasted in Oz though.

0This S21 Foden was a great motor with its 150 Gardner Engine & Fodens 12 speed gear box, It was a great motor to drive & very good on MPG, I have the full history of it from when it was new & where it ended its days,Regards Larry.
There’s a very similar 8 wheeler tipper to this on Outback Opal Hunters on Quest. The young guns have it but very little info apart from they’ve got it going. It must be getting on a bit
