The model name was mentioned in the episode - it's a 4964F. Not built in Australia. Only 1983-1993 models were locally assembled, but this one is a later model due to the round headlights (the plate was issued in 1997). I believe this photo was taken in 1998. Pretty sure that back in the 90s these were built in Canada.

This was the truck that was involved in the hit and run that killed an 8 year old boy in 1998: /vehicle.php?id=1397812

I remembered the case, the truck had been involved in two other accidents in New South Wales after Violet Town crash, after the trial, the case had highlighted an issue within the trucking industry where trucking companies are putting pressure on their drivers to make their deliveries on time.
