Hopefully, they'll get around to restoring a Dodge Blitz, too! Not many of them still in existence!

Round front bumper ends... Australian upgrade?

Wonder where they got the registration number from ... it is not within any RAAF registration number range, and the Army number was a 7 ton International semi-trailer.

The least they could have done is apply a registration actually used on an RAAF CMP.

Nice looking cab. Post-war colour.

Mariano,

As far as I know, rounded ends were not an RAAF or Aust modification, nor the single, centrally and horizontally-mounted towing eye.

From what I've seen, it doesn't take much to bend a CMP bumper outboard of the frame rails, perhaps they're better when pulled between the frame rails. Pulling in line with the frame rails (as on most CMP with two tow eyes) would definitely be better for the truck.
