Ford Truck I.D.

[ozm29c]

Keith,
It does indeed have a hinged(pop out) windscreen and on the passenger side door there is a paint shadow highlighting where a cross shaped bracket was mounted. There are also 3 stake nuts in the door to accept this (unknown) bracket. Of interest, all of the die cast Ford bling has been painted over. Also there is no sign of chrome anywhere. One last thing it has split rims. Thats all I know.
Cheers

There should be an ID plate on the firewall identifying what model but as Keith said it appears to be a 1941. More then likely it could be a 1 ton utility type vehicle which had a style side ute type body on the rear similar to the AWM picture below..

There will be a serial number stamped in the firewall, but this just identifies the basic truck cab serial, and gives no clue to the actual variant. Although these 1 Ton vans had the model code 11Y, the cab sheetmetal is stamped 11T for a 3 Ton truck.
11T: 1941 3 Ton truck
81: 1938-42 221ci 85hp engine
DD: Department of Defence? (ie not civilian truck?)
1118: Individual serial No of cab.

This is for a door mounted water bag carrier.
