Interestingly, S.N.L. G-1 lists two Ford Bomb Service trucks:
• G85, Bomb Service truck: M1 1½-Ton, 4×4, Ford 19-Y
• G109 , M1 Bomb service Truck, Ford, model 19F
Now, this clearly isn’t a 4x4 chassis, but a 4x2. The “19-Y” denotes the Ford 1941 model-year 1-Ton Truck with 8-cyl 100hp engine and a 122" wb. chassis. “19-F” is an unknown designation but would denote a 1941 model truck. The subject picture shows a 1942 model front end, so clearly there was some evolution in Ford's 4x2 Bomb Truck while the Ordnance Dept. didn't amend their data. Anyway, to them it was known as an "M1 Bomb Service Truck (Ford)", of which a picture is attached (G85 M1 bomb service truck (Ford) with 1941 model front end - but it is not a 1½-Ton, 4×4 truck).
