The first Blitz I bought was a F60L with an Isuzu diesel in it. The original engine mounts were used, but minor cutting and mods were done to the cab floor. The linkages were also changed to fit the gear lever and the end result is an interesting gear shift configuration. The cab was in good condition and the engine run well before beginning stripping down. I am a stickler for authenticity, but if I want a cheap running reliable work horse for a property, a diesel blitz would be the way to go. There is also a bloke around Toowoomba that has a modded diesel blitz, with a flat bed tipper, fully registered and used for shooting and timber work I believe.
