USN Bomb Hoist
 

The bomb hoist is missing its boom with attach point and pulley.

In civilian use these type hoists are often referred to as 'Fish-pole Hoists' which describes them rather well.

Blitz RAAF Crane in Toowoomba
 

RAAF Ford Blitz Crane truck for sale on ebay. Truck appears to be complete but I'm not familiar with them so don't know for sure. I hope it ends up in the hands of someone who will do it justice as it is a great piece of history. http://r.ebay.com/tECsT3

more related bits than blitz.

Interesting recycling
 

Well spotted Robert, they are Ford diffs and also the grille, steering wheel and column.

Looks like it's had a quick birthday for the sale.

Bit Dodgy.
 

Engine is Dodge.

Neat little magazine advert/clipping:

Description
 

Yep, think he might have been on the old 'wacky backky'.

Some gumtree things.

Springs- Like the seller, i dont know what they are off!
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/darli...ler/1020758359

Fuel tank- I dont know what these are off either (seeing a theme here!)
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/clont...nks/1021705221

This chassis seems ex military too!- again, i dont know what it is!
http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/hopet...ler/1021288643

The only one i do know: (and is the same place as the above chassis).
Blitz chassis- seems a good price to me!

Cheers,
Ian.

That's not a Blitz rear diff or wheel, and the drawbar brackets don't look blitz either!

Trailer
 

Tony's correct, the one with the red wheels is not blitz, but the seller's other trailer looks like it is or was a F15A with a different front axle.

I spoke to the owner, the tyres are completely knackered which is a pity as they look like 10.50-20.

Are the wheels British?

Tony and Keith,

There we go! Shows i didnt really know at all!

Cheers,
Ian.

Close, but no cigar...

Anyone recognise this?

Backhoe didn't get a bid and has been relisted with a utube video that proves it is underpowered and slow. :giveup

For comparison, look what $1100 more will get on a "buy it now".

Keith, they look like Australian type 18" trailer wheels to me, as used on Wiles cookers, generator trailers, etc.

wheels
 

Could they be off one of these?

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/herve...uck/1022612876

Wheels
 

They certainly have that look about them! What an interesting looking vehicle too.

Certainly is Keith. Does anyone know what these International trucks were used for? The back section of the roadster cab looks the same as the Ford/Marmon Herrington trucks and Ford 1 ton utes. Or looks to be from the same source. The interesting thing is the three ribs along the top of the doors and rear section which is the Ford style on those roaster cabs. The doors have a curved bottom front edge but the inside door shot on the Gumtree site shows the doors appear to be actually Ford doors. The rear panel support struts and B pillar bracing is similar too.

1943 dated fuel can
 

Observed, but hat's all I know about it.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...E:B:SS:CA:1123

Fuel can
 

And a fairly crappy one at that. Wonder what makes it a fuel can for a carrier. It's listed at about four times it's true value given it's condition.

Fuel can not not specifically a carrier one:

"Up for auction today we have a 1943 dated D/i\D marked fuel can as used on the carrier and other ww2 vehicles, in good condition."

Good condition may be a bit of a stretch though...

Worth looking at sellers other items , quite a variety, but all top dollar (to me anyway)
Rich.

This one has a higher price.

Must be a 2 Gallon can (not say 5 litres) because of the Imperial dimensions:

"SIZE IS " INCHES HIGH X " WIDE" :eek: :doh:

Blitz
 

That's the one by the side of the Hume Fwy near Badaginnie, about 17km south of Benalla, well known to those of us who ply the Hume from time to time. I've always found it a comforting sight along the way.
