My Blitz's

[Keith Webb]

The C15A looks like it has traces of it's ARN painted on the front shell under the windscreens. This is your best chance in the absence of data plates (usually on top of the dash) to establish what they were.

The second truck has the dished wheels fitted usually to C60S tippers, so that may be a clue as to it's former identity.

You'll find the chassis number stamped on the vertical face of the front left chassis rail.

Where are you located?

Excited about my first restorations.

Still looking for buiders plates so I can identify build date etc.

I also got in the deal - six rims/tyres, spare motor, canvas door, three fuel tanks, two spare doors.

Not sure how I plan to finish them of in regards to colour or rear body type.

As you can possibly see they are both Holden built bodies, ( rectangular side vents ) and the short wheel base version even still has the Holden badge on top of the engine cover.

This is a reasonably common conversion of the earlier dash to military instruments.

Hi Scott My C15A has that switch plate and I have seen a picture of one like it on MLU also on a C15A. With yours thats 3 I've seen with the five switches across the top. Mine has the insert with the round instruments as well.

The engines look like 216's to me going on the steam pipe on the back of the heads and the pivot point for the accelerator linkage behind the exhaust pipe.
