The benefit's of having time off work.

Old Chev rusting away.

Ryan · #2 08-11-07, 03:15

Look at that wonderful tray. hehe.

Ryan · #3 08-11-07, 03:16

Another shot.

Ryan · #4 08-11-07, 03:18

Another Chev, used as a spares truck, under some trees.

Ryan · #5 08-11-07, 03:19

Engine and spare.

Ryan · #6 08-11-07, 03:20

Unusual plate. Off old Hoist.

Ryan · #7 08-11-07, 03:21

Also found nearby. Old Dodge.

Ryan · #8 08-11-07, 03:22

You still can make out US star and serial.

Ryan · #9 08-11-07, 03:25

And finally a mystery. This GM plate off an engine cover has a serial number but no build date. Why would that be?

That's a contract number.
Could be a Melbourne build. For some reason all of the Melbourne Chevs had the build date on the dashboard plate and not necessarily on the engine cover plate and Sydney was vice versa. Was there a dash plate present?

You know I was too busy talking to the guy and patting his dog to check.

Ryan · #12 08-11-07, 05:57

But, thinking about it, you may already have this recorded somewhere Keith, as it is this truck. Powered by a Holden 161 and still in use today.

Ryan · #13 08-11-07, 05:58

Another shot.

Keith Webb · #14 08-11-07, 06:04

So you've been to Anakie... No I don't have details on this C60S.

Ryan · #15 08-11-07, 06:09

Umm, yes.

Speaking to the owner, he said it's actually a C15A that's been cut and stretched.

Plushy · #17 08-11-07, 06:12

I must make a trip down to Anakie soon as i keep hearing to many Rumours out of that area of Vic

Ryan · #18 08-11-07, 06:12

This is the one next to Fairy Park. The owner said it was mine for $1800, the cab is shot though.

Ryan · #19 08-11-07, 06:14

closer, powered by a later model Fireball 6.

Ahh yes, I seem to remember that.

And it's not James you need to be on the lookout for, it's those border raiders!

Actually trying to arrange something with that Dodge and another Chev Blitz as we speak.

That's true......be nice Bob or I'll give you my angry face.

Na, that's not going to work, angrier face.

Damn, one day that truck of his may come in handy.....

Keith Webb · #26 08-11-07, 06:34

I think Bob is temporarily satiated by his last border raid.

At least people like Euan have been trying to redress the imbalance with his recent import from S.A. - the CGT No8 which was a great prize and of course my F15 from Rust Hill.

Can anybody identify this hood sitting on the rear of a Blitz?

Plushy · #28 08-11-07, 09:01

Gotta better photo ?

Ryan · #29 08-11-07, 09:52

nope.

'Hangs head in shame'.

Looks like the scuttle/cowl from a 1920s era car to me.
