History
This truck was used for much of its life at S&M Fox for carting Coal
Some Info From Coal Carters Website
The story of the “Blue Trucks” starts back in the 1960′s when coal was trucked into Camden from mine sites in the Burragorang Valley.
The public have no access to this area as it is a catchment area for Lake Burragorang behind Warragamba Dam. Approximately 50 miles west is the historic town of Camden....
In the late 1960's coal demand was as its peak and Clintons was bought out by S&M Fox, whose fleet had grown to approx 200 trucks.
These trucks were commonly referred to as the "Blue Trucks" because of the distinctive blue coloured cabin
