Ford Blitz Restoration/Rebuild

[Ausmick]

Hi Tony,

I did a trip up through Qld in my old truck few months Back ending in Alice Springs for a show. Was amazed at the amount of WW2 vehicles still around the place.

If you ever get over to Cunnamulla take a right at the Roadhouse and go 200 metres down the Charleville road and there are four Blitz trucks sitting there in a paddock on the left.

Roma had a crane Blitz at the first big shed on the left.

Augathella was amazing, two streets behind the Pub on right are several owned by an old chap in his back yard as well as a willys jeep in the back yard of a house on the top of the hill.

Tambo, well drive around town or see an old dozer driver called Doug, he found a new 6volt generator for me when mine broke down, but lots of Blitzs there to restore. The last ones I spotted in Qld was a cab 12 outside Longreach and a cab 13 near Boulia.

My truck (C8AX) is fully restored so while I loved looking at all the old ones I spotted, my bank manager would shoot me if I took time/money and started another, hehe.
