Let this be a warning for any MLU-ers planning matrimony: Bear this in mind. Make sure it's in the contract.

Default contract

Kathy has been a blitz widow for 34 years now.

I had my first blitz a few years before Kathy and I started going out together, I bet she now thinks maybe she was just to young to realise the implications of what this was going to become.

Just think how my blitz family has grown over the years even allowing the odd chev blitz to sneak in.

Kathy wishes she had thought of putting a clause in our contract, but I would''ve broken the contract anyway.

Mally..
I had a KB 2 International..1941 ..that I restored and it had a pre war Green Diamond 6 cylinder engine built by Rolls Royce..which was pre war..after WW2 International started building their own engines and installing them in their trucks.. so it may have been the Rolls Royce pre war version that they were copying..Interesting..looks similiar to the Dodge flat head 6..
