  • now ive just come across this vid ...it says it all ... ive got 2 with big cam 3 's in them and one with a 8v 92 ta ... i should have documented the atkinson that i bought recently a bit better .. ive set it up as a truck and dog just recently .. love the video

  • This particular Atkinson is in the workshop at the moment getting the rust cut out of the cab, and a new paint job so hopefully will have some new footage of the old girl soon, it's recently clocked up 3.2 million km on second engine and 3rd gearbox

  • Love this clip man, My old man drove a 2670 with a 300 hp Cummins and a 15 sp RR and to this day that old bitch is still my favourite truck. There was a Foden with a 350 Cat that couldn't keep up with it with 25 tonne of super on their backs.

  • Yeah this day I was grossing about 33tons with a tipper full of dirt and garden mulch. The hill I went up doesn't look steep but believe me it's a fare pull, most trucks have to go back at least 2 full gears so this thing still kicks arse. the guy who owns this truck, well his dad has a 2670 with a 350 in it, painted same colours.

  • Aren't the 4870 Atkinsons similar to the T-lines?

  • exact same cab as the T-lines with a bunk. The big difference is in the interior. They were one of the flashest trucks of there time, still preaty cool today.
