Default Office

Is the vehicle Cliff posted a Chev or Ford? If a chev, would there be a difference in the Ford Office body? Or does anyone have any info on Ford Office Bodies?

The reason i ask is my tray has an extra tool/locker box in the rear wheel arch- both sides, painted OD etc etc. Would that be indicative of a Ford Office or a standard Ford GS body?

And seeing the configuration of the office body, it would make sense that it is based on the GS body- easy to modify.
To try to answer some of the questions:

The vehicle Cliff posted is a Chev C15A. I've only ever seen the office onfiguration on this chassis, not on Fords (although I don't have definitive info).

The toolbox in the valance is a feature of the later 2A GS steel bodies on Australian 15CWT CMP vehicles.

And as you may already know, GM-H were the sole manufacturer of this body for both Chevrolet and Ford CMPs.

The photograph of the rear of the vehicle shows the pilot model.

Hope this helps.
