Wireless Ford
This appears to be one of the "Wireless 1 Ton" vehicles issued to signals units early on. There are references to cabinets L.P. No's 2 and 3 etc in various wireless ( 101 and 109 set ) manuals but going by the few pics we have ,they all seem to be mounted in different locations within the ute tub. Some are sideways, others face the front..
http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/argus/0/0/...an004184.shtml There are records on the NAA archive web site relating to wireless cabinets LP No 2 and 3 , but you have to organize a viewing down in Melbourne. Another variation of a Ford utility with wireless http://www.slv.vic.gov.au/argus/0/0/...an008133.shtml

useles trivia
This is probably a completely useles piece of trivia , anyway.
The No. 11 wireless set was used in various roles including vehicles of different types. The Aust. or Local Pattern version of the set has a little tablet that slides into a special holder on the front panel. Each vehicle type has its own tablet , giving tuning data for a given antenna . I happen to have one for TRUCK 1 ton . I know there are other tablets for MG Carrier and other roles. I believe the official nomenclature for the truck was either : Wireless 1 ton or 1 ton GS van .. so truck 1 Ton is a oddity . Mike
