Nathans C60L

[Nathan O'Malley]

G'day all

So I saw a newspaper snippet a few weeks back listing a clearing sale in which 3 Chev Blitzes were being sold, I told myself you already have a ford to fix leave them for someone else.

yeah like i had the willpower to resist, I placed a bid on one of the two C60L's at the sale I hadn't seen the truck other than its photo and I had to work the day of the sale so I was modest in my bid and I was told I had lost the truck by $50 oh well you win some you lose some I thought.

The next day I received a phone call from the auctioneer informing me that there had been a clerical error which meant id actually won the truck! okay cool heading on to R&R so I thought I best go and have a look at my new Blitz and see if i was a complete numpty or not.

So you can imagine my surprise when I pulled up and discovered a truck that looked as though it had just stepped out of 1944!
when I picked myself up off the ground I took a few million photos and then came home to do some research. Keith Webb helpful as always identified it as ARN 141873 and a WO48 stores truck.

Today we headed back out to the property to prep the truck for transport and collect the smaller loose items before some opportunistic scrappy thought he'd do the same.
we hooked up the battery gave her a little fuel and on the first turn she fired and idled perfectly I couldn't be happier with the old girl and i cant wait to get it home and start what should be a very limited restoration.
