I have some more photos of the Ford Blitz here; the data plate is a bit fuzzy, but you can make out some details...
I've been through Yass quite a few times Robert, and i'd love to drop in and chat next time i have five minutes. Actually, when i was on the bus, i noticed a Blitz in someone's backyard in Church Street, if you know who that is!

A full Canadian import you say? So we got fully built trucks as well as getting the parts and putting them together I take it. What makes this type of truck fairly rare (and consequently a very desirable acquisition)?

full imports were rare thus making this a desirable truck to have

No worries Max; it might be a little while before i get time to poke around Yass, but I'd dearly like to see some of these underground tunnels rumoured to be around the area! I'll definitely take you up on it one day.
