OK didn't know that.

Another one for sale , in better shape and much closer. A few of these wartime Lend Lease Fords were still in use on farms here into the 1970s. 1944 newspaper snippet.

The chap we bought the WOT2 trucks from, he had a 3 Ton jail bar Ford that he ran on his farm up past St. Arnaud , I remember driving the Ford back to his house, he was surprised at how easily I handled the crash gear box.
