Default It's a 1941 Ford

Don't know the exact nomenclature. Also not sure of country of origin - assume it belonged to the South Africans. Looks like someone has stood on the roof. Weird camouflage.

Hopefully the picture linking works...

It is definitely Ford origin, probably 3/4 ton Pickup from 1940, but not sure where it was produced.

Default Desert Camouflage

The adhoc paint job is very reminiscent of the Moroccan military in the Western Sahara c.1993. Many of the vehicles were painted with tan or brown coloured narrow (paint brush width) zig-zags and banana curves over the darker factory OD. I'll see if I can dig up any of my photos from back then.

Cheers! Mike

No it is not V3000S. V3000 is 3-tonner truck and this one on the photo is smaller, it is 3/4 ton or 1 1/2 ton maximal, but it is from same production year, so used cab is the same.
