Mystery Body.. Any ideas ??

[Kym Loechel]

I have just bought this body but have no idea what it was originally used for ..
I have seen several 'close" on the forum but nothing the same..
Any help identifying the beastie would be much appreciated..More Pics to follow

[Keith Webb]

It's a Chevrolet No9 (Aust) Field Artillery tractor body.

Will post some more info later, but I have a couple of these and am of course interested in it too!

[Wayne Henderson]

Hi Kym,
It's just a common old no.9 guntractor rear body, nothing special, what's your phone number?

So the front structure of the cab is there... just pulled out. That's a bit ugly... if you have a look on the front left frame under the windscreen there should be a Holden body plate with a body number.

[Kym Loechel]

Ok Keith Will do that but not in the next day or so.. 38 degrees C forecast tomorrow will be more where I am.. Not the day to be playing in the mallee.. Yes the "remodeling" leaves a bit to be desired.. keep you posted.

Watch them Kym, they may seem friendly but they are after your body, truck that is.

Is that ever the pot calling the kettle khaki! In fact I'm thinking of applying to have your official moniker changed from "Salesman Bob" to "Border Raider Bob".

We're terribly trustworthy, Bob. You should see the respectful way I've treated your interview in YOTCSC.

[Kym Loechel]

Hi Bob I'm used to them being after my body.. and my truck as well??!!??... Did the glasses ever turn up??? And we're quite the radio star these days.. Or don't you want me to mention that on the forum.??

C'mon Kym and Bob - fess up!

Bob's already a star on the small screen...

I'm told he has a better face for radio than TV.!!??? (but I don't believe it !!) The local ladies hang out every morning for his "show"..

You could be right, but he's a solid performer on TV too. Haven't you seen any of the "Year of" series yet?

Local ladies, eh? Nursing home dementia ward types, or the twenty-something girls?

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Keefy - I've only ever "Border Raided" one truck and got caught doing it. Merely passing on information for other raids is just a Salesman Bob service. BTW when do I get my copy of YOTCSC?

Kym - glasses never showed up. Yes the radio bit was good but the station decided to change the morning format and cut out the chit-chat and all my good research. The most I do now is on Barry's Saturday Buy, Swap and Sell show. And yes I've heard you several times.

Bob

[Kym Loechel]

All I know is he does better than me both dementia type ladies & the twenty somethings.. Once again all hearsay.!! (He's gone very quite hasn't he.!!?)
I'll make it my business to track down the TV shows.. Have to be better than the football anyway..
But don't forget... Us South Aussies stick together despite giving each other heaps..

[Kym Loechel]

Bob ...Sorry to hear about the glasses.. Aust Post must need them.??
The Saturday Show certainly covers an area.. maybe they should do a WANTED bit and broadcast it into Victoria for us.???
You Know " Wanted Blitz any condition Pay better than local dealers.!!??" Maybe New South as well.. We may as well try for the lot..

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Kym - don't forget the Murray Bridge Swap Meet in the morning. I'm off to bed now for an early start seeing as there are 16 Blitzs for sale including those two gun tractors.

Sleep in Bob...

On my way...

And yes you did get comprehensively sprung, eh? Just when you thought it was safe to venture across I caught you red-handed!

Not that I can talk re gun tractors in other states I suppose...

Oh well, we're all Australians here, no, wait I can go one better.. we're all MLU-ers. Far more important and impressive.

I must admit I was tempted to mis-use my moderator powers and change Kym's first two pics to Kombi-vans or something similarly harmless.

"Conspiracy to Border Raid" is still a serious offence, unless you happen to be conspiring on this side of the NSW fence!

Did you know why the TV Series "Underbelly" has been banned in Vic? Because it reveals locations of Blitzes in other states and could incite a crime to be committed.

[Euan McDonald]

Was having a nap when this post went up, thanks Max & Keith for the wake up calls. What a good looking body! another Blitz for Corowa 2009 year of the Blitz, cant wait to see it trundle down the main drag.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Keefy
Don't knock Kombies. I just read an article, which of course I cannot now find, stating that there was a resurgence of interest in these vehicles and they were fetching top prices. A lot apparently were also being exported. Maybe I'll start border raiding these.

Je ! Qualité aimable. Comment pourriez vous m'accuser de la conspiration. Je suis un seul expéditeur d'information pour la plus-value de d'autres.
Bob

[Kym Loechel]

Hi Bob any bargains.?? I happen to know the Australian Army has used Kombies in service..
I saw one used at El Alamain Base near Port Augusta as a target.!! And I think I saw a couple for sale once ex Army..?? I suppose they were used to sneak up on the enemy as they were so quiet.!!

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Kym
Just a couple of jerry cans WD 1945 & 1952 and an ex. military indicator arm in really good condition. I was impressed with the show, well organised and good food.
