I think those horns should be standard fitment on all blitz's!!
Note to Rick Cove, does the emblem on the door look familiar?

Thanks for the photos Justin.

That one looks to be ex RAAF.

We have one on display over here in Perth WA. It came direct from RAAF Pearce.

Thanks Rich, guess I won't need to sand the door back to find out what is underneath now. This C60S was originally a No6 LAA Gun Tractor (Bofors) or if you like, Model WO-78.
Regards Rick

Default Re Ricks Pics

The first pic is the door, and if you enlarge it enough there is a similar emblem to the fire Blitz, showing under the paint near the left rusty bit, which was causing some conjecture only the other weekend.
Rich.
