Ford V8 Bofors Gun tractor advice please

[andrew honychurch]

Hi there, my father has a Ford 4x4 truck with a No 13 cab and a Bofors Gun carrier body on the back. Its been about 30 years since I saw this vehicle as its stored away in his toy cuboard but I am getting increasingly interested in it. I recall it has a big centre mounted drum winch and fair leads through the front bumper. It had been used as a timber tractor but Dad was able to buy the body from John Marchant here in the UK who was an avid Canadian Vehicle Collector. So my question is, does anyone have any photos or manuals on this particular variant? Also, is this regarded as a rare and desirable vehicle? I recall that the cab had seen better days. Presumably there are fabricators who can make most of the cab, its not particularly complicated.
