Hi Rob,
Nice one! It does look familiar. Look forward to seeing you with it next year.

regards, Richard

I bought this blitz off Ian Patrick, it was Noels.
The bush fire got into the corner off the shed but fortunately only distorted one indicator lens and added some ash to the cab.
Noel and I shared a birth date ten years apart and both had Chev blitz's.
I hope to keep it on the road for many years to come.

Well done Robert. You will be able to join the other 3 tonners at Corowa, Tony, Beau and company, should make an impressive supply convoy.

Once was the time I enjoyed taking a pile of relics and building a nice fresh truck. But as the future years are starting to wane, I have come to like the ready to go stuff.



Nice purchase.

This is turning into a real drama. Before I could pick the blitz up I blew my knee, two weeks later I had knee surgery then just as I started to get mobile again I had a heart attack requiring the fitting of two stents, now I am not aloud to drive for two weeks. This year is full of surprises.

You take care Robert.
Trucks come second and can wait.
Sorry to hear. You have certainly had a lot to contend with of recent.

hi Robert,
Crikey, luck is not on your side this year. Look after yourself, hope all goes well in your recovery.
None of us are getting any younger!

regards, Richard

You seemed like a regular ordinary easy-going fellow when you visited here. Hardly a drama queen! I guess I misjudged you ((( ( ;-) ))))
