Default Vercatile blitz

Hi All

As Bob and I travel around the country side we are always on the look out for milirary vehicles. I am forever in awe at the many ways the old WW2 vehicles are used and altered to carry out different types of work on properties. Bob and I found this vehicle out in a paddock under a tree which is a Chev which has had the chassis cut and shortened and converted into a fork lift truck. We talked to the property owner who said it still runs and he still uses it. Hard to believe from the appearance but appearances are deceiving.

Cheers

Tony

Euan

Sorry mate, not Keith in the right area about 100Klm west near Coonalpyn. There was another Blitz hidden in the high grass in rusty bits not even worth a recovery.

Cheers
