11Y Ford axle
The axle looks to be from a 1941 11Y 1 Ton Ford , those are the Aust. pattern 16" split rims only seen on that model . The 1940 01Y was similar but had the civvy type 7.00-17 rims . The 11Y was militarised to a point with heavier channel bumber , D tow rings and the spring radiator guard. Some of them had a roadster cab fitted. There was also a ' in between ' 11D 3/4 ton model , which used the same chassis and axle , but fitted with car type rims . I had a ex army 11D on the road in the late 1980's . The wheelbase on these is 122" .
