Thanks Mike - they're great! That's just the sort of no-nonsense caravan you have when you're a C60X owner! (I've always said the C60X would bring the house down!) I'm in the process of making sure the truck is ready for next year's Corowa - Year of the 6X6. ... Mine has a Studebaker US6 body - ordered some decent canvas today...

Here's the Blitz tray at present -I'll be needing some advice soon because I'm about to launch into the timberwork. (Egad!)

Hi Warren,

Glad to hear it, I knew you would not take too much convincing to enter the C60X

Default C60X Image

Hi all - I reckon I have seen these images before. I believe Hugh Thompson, Jan's father, used to do this. It could even be him.

My dad was in the house moving industry and I am sure Keith might be able to post a photo of the Blitz he used to move houses.
There was a house remover based at Chelsea in Melbourne who used Blitz's to move houses. His name was John Enders. Maybe these pictures are of his trucks.

They are State library of Victoria pics .... the photograher may be named

I will check.

There was a C60X just down the road here with a long crane on it . It's been sold and moved somewhere.

Mike it is now in Traralgon. Heading East, turn right off the Highway at Hungry Jacks, (Liddiard Road?) heading south and take the first on the left.(Head Street). It is on your right about the 3rd or 4th block after the dogleg. Got no idea who owns it now.
Regards Rick.

Rick, that photo sort of takes your breath away in that you can see so much potential - but will anyone take it on? Rust in peace.

There was a MWB Ford Blitz there as well. I was interested in it , but it's now down at Nilma awaiting restoration .

A few years back , two Ford F60L's were cut up just out of Warragul, they both had winches in situ, it all went into the scrappy bin .


The Warragul hospital had a F15A for years , they ran a coal fired incinerator for the hospital waste and the F15A was used to push the coal around the yard .
