On my wish list
WW1 Tank replica.jpg
I need one of these in my front yard. Then let them come selling door-to-door  It's a replica & advertised on Milweb. I think it was 30,000 pounds (price, not weight)

Can you help with this question?
Gentlemen,
I have been contacted by an acquaintence with the following question: "Hi Im wanting to know if number LV7 FD MAY BE CHEV BLITZ AS I HAVE NEW PARTS FOR THIS PART NUMBER, SWITCHES, HEAD LIGHT LOOM" Can you help me answer this inquiry? I don't have Chevs, as you know, so if these parts are available, I can see if they are alright for someone else. Thanks in advance,  T.

Any idea what these pair are worth?

I am considering buying these two tail lights. Any idea how much I should be expecting to pay for them?

Lv7 fd
The FD bit usually means Ford.
Post a pic and we'll identify them. Often the looms have a metal tag with a proper part number stamped onto it. As for the tail lights, a lovely piece of CMP gold there - worth whatever someone is prepared to pay - I could easily see them go for up to $200 for the pair. Quote:

Check these, Keith

These are the photos I have just been sent. Part Number on wiring is not easy for me to see. Are these switches original and/or valuable?? T

Switches
The circled ones are definitely Ford so you should keep them! Hard to tell with the wrapped loom though.

Switches etc..
Thanks for the switch info Keith,
Also for your PM about the h/brake boot. I will still go in for a shift boot though. Re. the switches I have asked about, they are not mine. The enquiry is for someone else who was wondering what they were. I have an interest in the headlight wiring and may buy it if suitable. Some time ago, I was negotiating to buy a cache of original Blitz dash switches. The ball topped toggles, and including several fuel switches. That did not come off as the potential seller wants to 'think about it' for a while. I take it thats code for 'see how much I can wring out of someone & keep you as a backup plan'. Still, good luck. My plan 'B' for switches was for ones with correct positions, without the ball top. These are now installed in the dash and don't look half bad! It was one of the very few jobs I could do today that didn't require power or dry weather. With all switches other than fuel selector, I have used the [Mom.On-OFF-ON] type. These were the best I could get that have an OFF position that it directly vertical. Obviously the fuel switch is ON-OFF-ON. Cab rear panel was block sanded this morning. Only one small area required a further skim of blade putty. If fine weather tomorrow i'll try to get the thing painted. The rifle attaching brackets were straightened and the spring steel 'jaws' where rifle clips in needed to have a minor change to alignment, for rifle to sit properly. I have some deac. SMLE & 'Jungle Carbine' rifles here and I am about to get one out to make a pattern for the wooden blocks that bolt onto floor of cab. Does anyone have any photos of these that I can have a look at, please? I want to make these in one piece, using a router for removing the wood where rifle goes and band saw to form outer edge. May start on this tomorrow if weather is bad. Otherwise, the windscreen frame beckons.  Still no 1/4in slot head CSK bolts! They are on back order, apparently.

Wooden Butt Holder
Tony,
Looks like I have tomorrow off (and maybe the next day, and the day after)...  BEFORE   AFTER  Five foot of mud has slowed things for me a bit... So I will get down to the shed & take some piccies & some measurements of the butt locators. Give me a call on my mobile (Sent to you by PM) & I will send them to you. If you don't have 'em by lunchtime give me a ring! H

Rifle Butt Holder
Hi Tony,
My original ones were two piece which was just as well as the bottom bit was long gone. I would suggest the base would be best out of treated ply. Inside is 4 3/4"x1 3/4" Wall Thickness is about 1 1/8" Depth is 1 3/4" Base is probably 1/2" max Cheers, Terry
