Morn John

Well sounds like a great time was had by All, awesome !

the Blitz looks great, love these tires but I dunno about 105km/h that sounds spookey in a 67 year od truck

would love to see more pics of your ride and BTW those rear fenders look the part quite well, all you need now is a fifth wheel and you have a Blitz tractor

LOL

Default Rear mud guards

Hi terry, you are correct about the 105klm being scarey what if the transfer case flew apart? this did cross my mind she is more happy doing 85-95klm so am i.The rear guards are not staying they were put on for the trip up.The tray i am building will have guards built in.Will be posting more photos later on.John Stokes.

Default Rear Fair Leads

Hi All,
I have been a bit quiet on the restoration side because the rear fair leads have been keeping me occupied.Euen lent me a set of rear fair leads to duplicate,now i know why he didn't want to part with them.Any way almost there and if someone could let me know were the rollers painted or dipped in gal or something?Back in the shed after Monday cruise preparing for some olive paint and finishing off. John Stokes.

Default On the air

I just heard John (VK3HO) on the air 5 mins ago..... he was active on the 40mx ham radio band.

Wonder if he still has the CMP ?

John sold his truck years ago and moved to the country. He runs a engineering machine shop from home now.
