Thanks Howard. Yeah, it's great, and it adds a whole new dimension to the story.
It's interesting, I don't think I'd have had the chance had it been a Blitz and not an Inter. I understand that a number of CMPs have been rescued from around Junee in recent years, and the location of the truck, on one of the main roads into Junee, means that many have seen it, but nobody has been interested enough to pursue it.
I'm happy that this is the case, and it gets more interesting by the day.
As an aside, does anyone know if Croker Tire has an Australian agent? At a pinch, their bar-tread DUKW tyres should fit. It might also be worth seeing if I can find two more 18 inch split rims, if the DUKW tyres are an option.
Cheers,
Matt
