Default C15A

Max showed me some pictures recently. Although the body is separate, this is one tidy unit, congratulations, John - I look forward to seeing it next time I'm up there.
Feel free to email me some pics, Max and I'll put them online so we can all have a look.
Yass must surely rank as one of the best CMP locations in the world.

In kit form but I bet they'll have it up and running in no time!

Note the Sunshine roof with the gal cover.

The rim is what was on the blitz,I have been told that these type of rims were on early blitz tippers, from memory they are made by dunlop.We do have a couple of others laying around somewhere. Max

Default Chev Engines

G'day Euan,
I did finally get an engine back together out of all that mess you saw in my shed. I took the truck on a club run to Tumut at the weekend and she performed faultlessly. We cruised down the Hume at an average of 38MPH and with the 'truck spotters' maths help, I got 9.4 MPG.
