Default It's an oddball.

Hi Richard,
Yep, they are louvered windows and they work fine too. About the only thing that does though. Unfortunately the sump has a blend of oil and water in it.
The bloke I purchased it from still has much of the SEC gear such as the chainsaws stored away. He was going to turn it into a yard crane but never did.
It will make a ripper farm truck though.

Keith, Anakie still has some surprises although the bushfires two years ago claimed a few Blitz's, including a F15A that had NOS tyres fitted just prior to its loss. Bugger.

Default Another two arrive.

These two were brought home last weekend.
They came from Lara, just north of Geelong. Originally NSW Blitz's they were brought down to Lara years earlier and placed in a shed to be restored, but it never happened. They were then moved out into a paddock for several years. And then I came along.
One is a WO48 and one is a WO96.

Default Types

WO 48 = Truck, 3-ton Stores Unbinned (Aust)
WO 96 = Truck, 3-ton Garage (Aust)

So an ancient border raid. Nice.

Default And here's another that came today.

Though not a Chev this time but a good old Ford.
Yeah it's butt ugly, doesn't much look like a Blitz but there is a nice engine and gearbox under all that. And lots of other usable bits too.

Someone put some time and effort in to the old girl.

Default Guard on the mudguard

I see you've posted a guard to stop any border raiders.
