41 Ford F15a CMP
Found this truck in the back 40 of one of the local haywires. Bought it for $700, drove it home the same day with 2 flat tires and the box tied down with a rope. It took 3 hrs to go 4 kms, totally worth the drive. That was about 10 years ago, I finally brought it home, from my parents farm, in October. Now comes the fun part the re and re...

Welcome on MLU
We use here our real names ;-) Just a few thoughts on your Blitz: - A Ford-Cab (or at least a badge) and a straight 6 engine. That doesn't fit. The Ford's used V8. - The Cab is a No 13, so most likely your Blitz isn't from 1941 or the original cab was replaced sometimes. Greetings from Switzerland Chris

Well, most Aussie-MLUers know me in person and my pics showing myself from several trips to Down Under are spread all over MLU and I'm one of the stars on the "Year of the Blitz II" DVD  and you'll probably see me next year in Canada, Blitz & Carrier spotting. So I'd guess I'm pretty well known here  Where are your pics, Alex  Greetings The only Swiss Chris in Switzerland

The truck is a Ford and the previous owner put the Chev motor in it in the early 70's and junked the flathead. He was the one that told me it was a '41. Progress is going to get real slow as I have no shop/shed to work in and it started to snow today... And it is in rough shape as the previous owner used it as a log skidder. Thanks for correcting me on the year, I'm just winging it on this truck.

The rear ends are both Ford as are the shock absorbers. The motor is a 1960s Chev 230 inline six. The box has a US military look to it. The 13 cab makes it 1942 or newer.
I'd say it's a Ford with the Chev engine replacing the flattie and a US box, but it's a CMP and that's what really counts!
