Yes, I thought it a bit strange. 10 years ago it was purchased the story goes. I was told about that Blitz from a scappy down near me in Moriac.

The bloke i heard the story from first about the blitz also said it was sold 10 yrs ago but its at least 7 yrs since i first got told the story .
Theres a couple of Ford Blitz Cranes in Sebas they are old ex Barry james Trucks similar to the layout of the one you took photos of but have a larger crane and stabilizers fitted too the chassis . |

Have you got any photos of those Blitzs plushy?
GEARBOXES ok, I've tried to search the forum but I cannot find the thread on Ford/Chev gearbox differences/similarities. Anyone know it? I'm in need of a Ford gearbox for my flathead ( I do know where I could get one though ). But I have a spare Chev gearbox sitting in a C60 wreck. I can remember reading about how the housings were slightly different on this forum once. Can I feasibly bolt up a Chev gearbox out of a C60 to the back of a Ford Blitz Flathead and bolt it into a Ford F15 chassis? Or would it be much easier to just lay out more money and buy a Ford gearbox?

I think it'd be a lot easier Ryan if you went with the ford gearbox...plus they make a much better noise than the Chevy box anyway.
But Plushy has solved your problem ...
