I've seen that photo before there is no way I would be any of those guys.

Notice no hardhats, glasses, smoking. Quite a different world.

The 250 ton Hammerhead crane was built in 1951 at Garden Island in Sydney and served at the fitting out wharf, dominating the skyline for 63 years until demolished in 2014. Seen here in about 1969 unloading ex HMS Wintringham, soon to become Diving Tender Seal (DTV-1001), one of 3 Ham class vessels from England, along with Neasham and Popham

The Wintringham arrived in Sydney as deck cargo on the merchant ship Gladstone Star on 29 July 1968. She was converted into a diving tender by Halvorsens, renamed HMAS Seal (DTV1001/Y298) and entered service in December 1968.

On the "T" looks like the inner part of the rim is separating, about to go blooie.   All the tires seem to be lacking tread.   It is also a cut down touring, not a truck.   I can't tell if he is hauling junk or just moving his household goods?   Is the wrecker holding up a sick horse or getting ready to put on new shoes?

Silver Bridge collapse. Pt. Pleasant, WV, December 15, 1967. My great aunt and uncle came back across the bridge from doing some Christmas shopping in Galopolis, OH. Stopped at a filling station and before the tank was full the bridge fell.
