Something of a Bitza Blitz,alright. The non-driven front axle is from a Bedfros, and the rear axle has 5 lug wheels, so could be from a Ford, Inter, Dodge, etc. He mentions the Y-Block, which bolts up to the gearbox, so the 'box is probably from the F500/F600 that supplied the engine.

I think the roof may be original Blitz!

And the above bitza Blitz sold for $1010.

Hi Ryan,
I read that as one chain only.

Local scrappy had that many sets of 12.00-20 chains up here a couple of years back that he was using them to make his weights up, bought a set (4) $40.00, each in its own steel box. I gueuss you could always cut these back to suit 10.50-20 if someone is mad enough to want a set.

Also look at their other auctions for more bits and an abused blitz based earthmover.

If only I could remember what year I had my last tetanus shot.

Thanks Ryan I've been chaseing one of those for over a year. :thup2: :cheers:
It's a small world this book has been owned by a Pearce before. :confused

Donor parts Chev, now would that be a 235 Blue Flame or a 261???

The first reference I found (on a cursory search) to the 261 is for installation in the 6000 series in 1956. I suppose it could mave been used outside the US before inside but ....

'56 Pontiac
 

Grant
You are probably on the money ,as usual..
I had a '56 Canadian built Pontiac Laurentian with the original 261 Engine in it ..I bought it in '64 in Saskatchewan so know I was the 2nd owner..
Same colour and identical to one shown here..
Wish I still had it..

WOW is right if they get that price Keith will think I ripped him off. I've noticed all of these instruction books listed on ebay are third edition did any other aditions come out here.

Ryans 1st link,
nice front fairleads! Rarely see them left on the truck. Can't work out if the front wheels have the spacers to match the rear duels. Wonder if the door and doghouse are out back of the shed?
Vendor also has a nice Series 3 FFR Landie, and a 46 Hilman Minx if you are into that sort of thing.

On ebay
 

Item 250504535314, nice little blitz by the tag another C8 8448-518, Question how many of us are going to chase each other to get it. I,m in.

Looks like a perfect candidate for restoration! But I think it´s a C15 15-cwt, not a C8.

... and the data plate says "manufactured 5-5-43" and not 42.

Furthermore...
 

It's not a Holden-built C15A either which makes it pretty unusual in this country.

less than 50 kms away from me too
Good luck BOB .
