When Rodney Guy saw the new Inter’ he was impressed by its appearance
and its specifications: roomy, highroof
sleeper, 1800L tanks and a 550hp
C-15 CAT driving through an Eaton 18-speed to Meritors on a Hendrickson HAS
460 air suspension. His T601 was getting
a bit long in the tooth for the demanding
Newcastle to Melbourne coiled steel
schedule he runs for Tolls and he was at
Warragul in shopping mood. He chose the
new Eagle.
The prime mover went to Ballarat
Truck Painting, where Mason Stevenson
worked his magic. The paint job set
off chromed air cleaner cans and
six-inch stacks, complete with ‘International’ stencilled heat guards over
sports mufflers.
