Ray Poularas has a Chevrolet Wireless Signals which although cut down has a lot of original features.

Ray is looking for a roof or rear body to put this all together.





Here's a link to Ray's page of pics: http://www.tuberadio.com/BLITZ/blitz.html

It's wonderful to see how an arrival like this instantly raises the tone of the neighbourhood.

Indeed Mate, The fun begins...

Good day Ray
Well done a nice project. This one looks very similar to a radio van that sold near Condamine in Qld a few weeks ago. I took a lot of photos of it in 2000. It still had the removed top with it in very good condition and a readable ARN on the back.
I actually bought the Condamine one , but then found out I had serious health problems and so I had to leave it there , no money changed hands so it wasn't a big problem.
I have a very rusty back off a radio van it wouldn't be any good to restore but it does have lots of brackets still on it.
I always thought that a radio van would be good to camp in at swap meets, I look forward to seeing your finished truck.
Regards Ken

Default Condimine Blitz

Hi Ken,
Guess what, This may be exactly the same truck.!
Was there a dodge six wheel near it too??

I rescued it from a Farm Sale up there. The two was steep but I struck it luck with a tow truck driver looking for a return load to Sydney.

Its Turning out to be not in bad condition underneath although I will need to check and go through everything to get her int tip top condition.
Hope your doing better now with your health,

Posted more photos under the parts list, on

Regards
Ray

Ah Ray hasn't updated us on the progress .

Anyway, to fill in a few gaps , the red Motel Sigvan was for sale at the Bendigo Swap, maybe 15 years ago , the seller was the chap from Whittlesea , he had the FGT ? that Tony W ended up with .
