International T-Line Freight Haulage 'Gypsy'

It was said that International put more operators into Mack and Kenworth than any other brand – they were a robust, cost-effective and durable truck with the S-Line and T-Liners making enough money to upgrade the fleet overtime.

This T-Line worked for Freight Haulage and is seen here with a load of wool with a four-axle trailer in tow, this six-wheeler was the bench-mark configuration for the rural community, and more than likely it also worked as a tipper, and no-doubt would go under livestock crates when needed.

The redoubtable T-Liner deserves its place in the trucking Hall of Fame, and it was a sad day when the last International was  assembled and left the Southern International plant in Christrchurch.
