Morning Guys:

Just trying to play a little catch-up here, nothing really new.

These Dutch/MH threads are getting so long I have to print them off to keep things straight.

For starters and I am not trying to post over anyone else, I just had some time to look through some of my reference stuff.
Hanno's pic posted April 5 is a 42-47 4X4 presumably MH
Nuyt's of the same date is a 42-47 and is 6X4 (not 6X2 as I was speculating based on a later pic)
Nuyt's group shot also of the 5th would certainly seem to be a 4X4 MH as it stands much taller than the Chevs.
Nuyt's single Ford of the 5th is a 42-47 6X4.
Nuyt's of the 6th certainly looks like a 4X4 of 42-47.
Hanno's group shot are again 4X4 of the 42-47 vintage.

Now, a question for the gang. The 6X4 Fords are a little bit of a mystery to me. My assumption is they are standard Fords with most likely a Thornton tandem axle installation. I am not sure but I think MH did offer some 6X4 but not this late. Anyone have any thoughts? Another question, on the last several pics of postwar Fords whether 6X4 or 4X4 it is near impossible to figure out which side the steering wheel is on. To my eyes, the look like LHD rather than RHD.
Bill
