G'day folks,

I saw this vehicle today, for sale not so far from me. It was the bloke's fire unit until about five years ago. I've tried to find out about Blitz tippers, but none of those pictured online look quite the same. It appears that many of them had dual rear wheels and spaced front wheels. Also, the bottom of the tray looks later. I'm wondering what it is? The tray seems to have been painted the same green as the cab, at some point. If the tray isn't original, it does appear to be military, as there is a lot of dark green paint under various parts.

I couldn't see any sign of an ARN, as the paint is pretty-well gone in the area in question. The owner is a really friendly and helpful bloke.

I'm a blitz noob! What do we have here?

Cheers,
Matt
