Blitz found....
 

Hey I found this blitz the other day. It's in really bad condition, but any idea on model? I think it is a Ford but I don't know much about them.

:cheers:

I was told it was an RAAF blitz. It has balloon tyres and was used on Fraser Island for many years (hence the condition!)

Not ex RAAF but ex artillery as I think it is the remains of a #9 Gun Tractor. Don't tell Keefy as he will want it for sure :D

Keith has other things on his mind at the moment :devil: all will be revealed in due course :D

That dash looks like quite a challenge :devil: :cheers:

Wow, in before Keith!
 

Arron, :note:
Remains of FGT #8, (Ford gun tractor #8) the flat roof indicates its #8 not #9. Interesting find, does it have any data plate to be found?

No data plates to be found, but I only looked near the dash. This blitz is at Rainbow Beach QLD. I didn't talk to the owner but I'm sure you won't have to pay much for it.

"Its a restorers dream!"

Ah just down the road from my place in Gympie then.

Look nice in the front yard Cliff....

Rob

well I could take the crane off and as the back is open add a ramp so I could drive my wheelchair right in :D :thup:

Dash
 

Hi Robert - dash no problems. I've had worse sent to me. The speedometer would probably be recoverable and it still has the needle albeit exposed.

Hi Daniel

This one was originally a GS dropside tray with winch according to the WO82 plate.
