I have some more photos of the Ford Blitz here; the data plate is a bit fuzzy, but you can make out some details...
I've been through Yass quite a few times Robert, and i'd love to drop in and chat next time i have five minutes. Actually, when i was on the bus, i noticed a Blitz in someone's backyard in Church Street, if you know who that is!

A full Canadian import you say? So we got fully built trucks as well as getting the parts and putting them together I take it. What makes this type of truck fairly rare (and consequently a very desirable acquisition)?

Others would have come here as refugee cargo or by other means in dribs and drabs.

No worries Max; it might be a little while before i get time to poke around Yass, but I'd dearly like to see some of these underground tunnels rumoured to be around the area! I'll definitely take you up on it one day.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'll soon be able to start a Ford Blitz restoration thread, because thanks to some good detective work, I tracked down the long-disappeared owner of the Mossgiel Blitz and persuaded him to let me buy it off him. As it turns out, he owns two Ford Blitzs of his own (not in anything like as good nick as this one), and also knows where at least two more are in the Riverina (or were when he last saw them). Isn't it amazing how many of these old girls are still lurking around out there? Anyway, it'll be a chore getting it back home, and quite expensive, but worth every penny! I've well and truely caught the Restoration Disease, however...
