G'day blokes,
Geoff here. I am an ex-motor mechanic, now a nurse. I am just starting a beekeeping business. That's why I just bought this 1964 Ford F600 17'6" tray, 302 Clevelend, 5-speed box, 2-speed diff. Wanna drop the tray sides a bit lower. I'm interested in talking to any beekeepers out there, US or Oz.

Sorry about posting a Volvo on a Ford site, but I thought you might be interested in 4 trailer combination. These travel the Outback over here @ about 120 km/h., 3500 km from Adelaide to Darwin, non-stop. Very hard to pass one without dying...

Welcome to Ford "F" Zone, Geoff!!! I had a few bee hives while in college, but the Africanized or "Killer" bees have taken over South Texas and I don't mess with those!!! Also, I only see red X's in your pics, but are you talking about the Road Trains that travel the outback??? When I was working out there a few years back and saw one coming in the distance, I pulled WAY off of the road to let them by!!! Look forward to chatting with you on the forums, randy JSM84
