thanks mike
tried to catch up with you when i was down there but my e-mail was via mcdonalds and they block MLU!!!!!!

so i didnt get your e-mail till today.

the truck i got is in shocking but good shape, if that makes any sence.

the frame is gone, going to have a new one made!!
the axles, trans, and motor are in good shape, the steering works like a top!!
the sheet metal is in great to poor shape but is all there and can be used for patterns if not restorable.

i managed to bring back on the airplane all the gages, the fuel filter with all the lines and switch, speedo cable, and entire wind screen. 22.5 KG. the Quantis girl thought i was crazy.

but i need some 16 inch wheels, got any?

Hi Dave

Yes I had a spare set of wheels in good shape....but sadly, I did a deal with a well known organisation and they took the wheels..I'll fill you in on what happened later on .

The wheels from a 15 cwt CMP should fit OK ?? ..thats a easy solution . You should have contacted the MJCQ ( Military Jeep club of Queensland ) guys ..I'm sure they would know of some 16" blitz wheels for you .

Your keen .... new chassis being made

BTW the wheel nuts are different to a blitz.. they are BSF thread I believe.....one of my CS8 wrecks came with brass wheel nuts fitted ..I'd never come across that before .

ok i will keep asking about the wheels
if i have to i will relug the bolts with CMP lugs to make it simpiler.

the frame should be easy to have made, only 3 basic cross members and one of them is the front bumper.

im not sure if i will be able to talk to any of the queenslanders soon, they beat the NSW team in the origin match so my wife might not want me talking to the enemy any time soon. LOL

i have found 5 20 inch rims and have them with the morris, i found about 12 CMP wrecks while i was there. all had 20 in rims!!!!!

thanks
dave
