Hill End Blitz NSW

[Howard]

Tony,
I'm not so sure why you are upset about this truck. If I may offer my opinion:
No, it is not back to "original" condition, but it HAS been preserved, and it will be stored appropriately, and maintained. And, might I add, loved.
All sorts of modifications were made to these beasts post-war, why can't these uses/modifications be preserved as well? Not only on this particular truck, but on any of the resto jobs being performed as we write.
Surely the preservation of this truck is more important than the accuracy of it's 'restoration'? After all, (as I have already stated to other MLU members), it's an old Blitz, not a GT Falcon.
Congratulations to the members of the Hill End RFS, the old girl looks fantastic. (But it would look better and sound better with a side-banger refitted!)
My two bob's worth,
H
