I was lucky enough to have been given the opportunity to buy the blitz from Tim. It only arrived a couple of days ago.
Thanks for the info, do you know anything about the holes in the rear drivers side cab. I assume they are for a fire extinguisher. Was this bracket a war time thing? Were they fitted only to vehicles that did a particular job? I also have three holes above it on both sides? Thanks Darren

FORD F15 seats
I have been told that changing gears would be much easier if I had thicker seats and I could "get on top of the pedals". Does anyone know what the original thickness of the seats would have been so I can get some made up! Does anyone have a photo of original seat cushions? I have attached a photo of another MLU members seats.
Thanks Darren

Hey Derwood,
That is one nice Blitz, for a Fraud, sorry I ment Ford. I have an original D^D seat base. It has springs in it and is real comfortable. I will bring it to the meeting tomorrow night and you can try it for a while. The seat in the photo looks a little small. See you tomorrow night. Cheers Jeff

I didn't have any springs so my seats are 4" of high density foam and are reasonably comfortable, as can be seen in the borrowed photo I didn't get the backs made long enough and the cushon moves about a bit while i'm getting in and out.
I hope you get as much enjoyment out of your blitz as I get out of mine, they are great for holding up trafic.

Blast From The Past
Hi Darren - your truck contains an instrument panel and housing I did for Tim in October 2003. Is it holding up ok?
Bob
