Winch what winch? It will be a 30cwt which had a shorter wheelbase then the 3 ton long WB models as most of these real early one's were only 30cwt models.

If you look a bit closer the chassis does have winch mounts, and also reinforcing on the chassis for same, may well be a postwar sawmill refit or not ?

Certainly worth preserving the blitz whatever it's identity turns out to be.

Hi Colin,

"Blitz" means lightning and "Blitzkrieg" means "lightning war" in German. Through constant motion, the blitzkrieg attempts to keep its enemy off-balance, making it difficult to respond effectively at any given point before the front has already moved on.

Now, can you tell me why the Australians call the CMP a Blitz truck?

Hanno

Blitz - Lightning, as in 'blitzkrieg', or 'lightning war'

The term 'blitz buggy' was more universal earlier in the war being applied to vehicles other than CMPs, which were initially called 'desert blitz' among other names.

They must have been being sarcastic about its speed.

Yes, they have a sense of humour.

Or was it that they were used to the speed of walking sheep before this flashy truck was shipped in from Canada?

Ford F60L spare parts book:

Also from the same seller, a .50cal mount attachment. I know we all like to have original parts but this seems silly. A repo one would cost much less.
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/US-Army-5-cal...item41574d83e4

Seller also has a MB-C1 and another chev manual too.
