FORD TRUCK INSTRUCTION BOOK - Instructions on Maintenance and Repair of Ford Trucks Supplied to Defence Departments of the British Commonwealth (Third Edition). S.E. 29A.
This covers the following Models:

21C 114" wheelbase ½ Ton
C21D 122" ¾ Ton
21Y 122" wheelbase One Ton
21T 134" wheelbase Regular Truck
C29T 134" wheelbase Regular Truck
C29W 134" C.O.E. - 3 Ton
218T 158" Regular truck
218W 158" wheelbase C.O.E. Truck
C298T 158" wheelbase Regular Truck
C298W 158" C.O.E. - 3 Ton
Whilst I am making enquiries about the record cards, etc. it occurred to me that the conversion of the basic truck to 4x4 would have been ideal for the snow-clearing units. There were of course the three batches of FWD HAR-01 trucks, some of which were converted to snow-blowers but these had RAF serials and are thus not in the WD Census List. On that basis is there any evidence that the RAF used C29T M-H conversions?
