Interesting and thanks for your input & knowledge Mike.
Data plate is 24 Apr 45.
Cabin nose section has Ford Canada stamped into it.
Under all the paint on the truck, there is a nice coat of green, the RAAF 209975 is painted twice on the cabin in different fonts by stencil and brush. The truck has green, black then gray as an overall paint job. It was owned by a business in Moorabin at some point, then up to Dartmouth dam, then to this farm and after 20-30 years sold.
Main base section of cab has the artic heater/ventilation slots & holes, but no kit ever fitted.
No data plates on the tipping body.
Data plates for the tipping body located on the engine cover.
Spare cabin has no data plates or markings. I believe there were only 2 Ford blitz trucks at this property, the tipper and the other converted into a towed grader.
