Good day gentlemen,
Many, many years ago the late Ken Hughes at Kingaroy in Queensland had 2 or 3 Matadors in his yard, does any one know where they went?
One at least was painted orange, with olive drab coming through on the wear surfaces, and if memory is correct it was on International Mk3 etc.wheels. I didn't ask Ken why as I had no interest in them, I assumed he had either sold the original wheels or bought the trucks without wheels.
I do know that the trucks were huge and you would have to be very rich and dedicated if you were going to restore one of Ken's trucks. I would like to think that they are in a collection some where and didn't end up as scrap.
