Default blitz speed

Gday shane

Welcome to the forum i own a C15 two wheel drive blitz radio van and i can sit comfortably on 85KMH on the highway my blitz has the original 216 powerplant but has been fitted with a five speed gearbox from a wartime 6x6 gmc cckw, this conversion effectivelly gives some sort of overdrive of course if you have a 4 wheel drive blitz that is a different story , it will depend on your tire size.

Hope this helps you out.

Cheers Matt

Default Top speed

Shazer,
Last week I did a one way trip of around 400km in my C15a 216 on 12.00 tires and it sat at 80km/h all day, (wife followed in Ford ute to bring me back). The CGT I took around Aust runs a 293 on 12.00 and sits on 90km/h towing a trailer.

Default Blitz speed

Shane
According to the book " equal to the task" The Royal Australian Service Corps , page 367 .
The 3 ton blitz both Ford and Chev were not safe to operate at speeds over 55km per h on other than the best of roads.

Regards
Jim S.
