I think it is pretty cool to find the Chevy Bow Tie in such an unusual place. Never seen one of these until now!

Oz must have inherited a lot of these after WW2 - lots of farmers had one before the says of the Land Cruiser et al.
I don't know if the 'Blitz' name was Chev-official or whether it was just an Aussie appellation, but everyone here called them by that name.

I Googled it.

Blitz trucks were built in Canada. The Canadian Military Pattern truck, under a British Army specification for use by the British Commonwealth allies during WWII. Built by General Motors of Canada Limited, Ford and Chrysler Canada.

Over a half million were built.

They were shipped just about everywhere.

Pretty good write up here.

Rust! It's all a consequence of entropy. Better if the latter had never been discovered, and with all the money we give the government, they should be able to stamp it out.

Ah, but think of all the disorder we would miss!

Here's some rust on a barge.
