Turns out that Blitz serial number 19012 was originally a Derrick crane truck:

Sacriledge!
So they took a rare Australian derrick truck used by both the Army and RAAF, and 'restored' it as a GS truck ... wonder what they did with the derrick crane?
Their truck I suppose, but seems a terrible shame to have taken that path. Mike

"RAAF History and Heritage"
This "news" has done the rounds.
Was on Chev and Ford Blitzes in Australia FB page this week. I made similar comments to Mike on that forum. RAAF History and Heritage was a not taken seriously in this case. Cheers,
