Terrific for bringing home long lengths of....anything.
Would be great to restore in its present configuration, certaily be one of a kind now. Are they louvered windows? Original pattern door top on drivers side too. Rich

Yes, that looks like the one. Anakie was blessed with several CMPs back when I photographed them.
![]() Nice interesting vehicle to own. The one Iain bought was a former RAAF F30 ambulance. And given the 16" wheels it's not out of the question for the Chev to have had the same ambulance origins. More here.

Hi Richard,
Yep, they are louvered windows and they work fine too. About the only thing that does though. Unfortunately the sump has a blend of oil and water in it. The bloke I purchased it from still has much of the SEC gear such as the chainsaws stored away. He was going to turn it into a yard crane but never did. It will make a ripper farm truck though. Keith, Anakie still has some surprises although the bushfires two years ago claimed a few Blitz's, including a F15A that had NOS tyres fitted just prior to its loss. Bugger.

These two were brought home last weekend.
They came from Lara, just north of Geelong. Originally NSW Blitz's they were brought down to Lara years earlier and placed in a shed to be restored, but it never happened. They were then moved out into a paddock for several years. And then I came along. One is a WO48 and one is a WO96. |
