It's in Dubbo, an early cab Ford.

Never seen that one :doh:
Right under my nose too :bang:
Wish him the best of luck with a starting price of $2300 though !!!

very early no vent cab 11 with Chev diffs :doh:

I swear when I linked that earlier tonight the starting price was only $300.
Hmm.

... I can confirm that. Starting price was only 300

And it's a SWB with winch! Could it be an FGT? Might explain his E-bay ID??

Winch what winch? It will be a 30cwt which had a shorter wheelbase then the 3 ton long WB models as most of these real early one's were only 30cwt models. :)

11 Cab Ford

If you look a bit closer the chassis does have winch mounts, and also reinforcing on the chassis for same, may well be a postwar sawmill refit or not ?

Certainly worth preserving the blitz whatever it's identity turns out to be.

Cheers Matt Baker

That chassis looks a lot shorter than my F30S.

FGT Chassis diag. Compare it with the Gympie FGT (got these pics off theis forum, hey!). See the stiffening plates?

I am on it fellas
dont stir it up for me :nono:

Not a Blitz, but interesting
 

Imho
 

Looks to me like a chassis that has been fingered, eh aj?!
Pretty much worthless.... Right Fellas???

Yep :salute: See here: http://www.mapleleafup.org/forums/sh...ad.php?t=16182

Moved it to its own thread, as the film was not auctioned in Australia (though going there) and Blitz has an entirely different meaning in Germany :rolleyes

ok then, back on course

Hanno, I'm sure we're all curious now! What does "BLITZ" mean in german?
Colin.

Hi Colin,

"Blitz" means lightning and "Blitzkrieg" means "lightning war" in German. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given point before the front has already moved on. :teach:

Now, can you tell me why the Australians call the CMP a Blitz truck? :confused

Hanno

To jump in here....
 

Blitz - Lightning, as in 'blitzkrieg', or 'lightning war'

The term 'blitz buggy' was more universal earlier in the war being applied to vehicles other than CMPs, which were initially called 'desert blitz' among other names.

Hanno
 

They must have been being sarcastic about its speed.

Yes, they have a sense of humour.

Or was it that they were used to the speed of walking sheep before this flashy truck was shipped in from Canada?

:D
