This is another location , and these Blitzs are heavily chopped so they will only be for parts i reckon .

Ford No 1



Chev No 1




Chev No 2
I didnt get any photos of the outside of this one as my camera batteries died .




There was also another Ford there and various other bits and pieces , i will hopefully get back there in a week or two to take some more photos . None of these four had data plates that i could find .

It is a Dodge D series 4X2 probably a D60 (3ton). The AIF had a lot both as semi trailer tractor units and G/S 3 ton trucks.

Dodge Power Wagons did not arrive until the 1950's and this is earlier then that.

Default Good Finds

Well done James, bit cheeky though. Hopefully those dashes still have the sender units attached. So many idiots cut them off rendering them next to useless. We'll certainly be talking trading here. Try and catch up with us this weekend at Ballarat.
