Another thing to note is the side valve V8's come in different sizes. Earlire ones were smaller and generally English Built. One way of telling is the amount of Head studs (bolts) samller engines 21 stud and larger ones 24 stud. I'm pretty sure the CMP's all came with 24 stud engines.

If I'm wrong you can be sure there'll be a post after this very quickly! Hopefully with more info for you as well.

G'day Tony,

I did not take any photos of the Fordson, however I did a quick google search and came across one - first good photo was of an Army truck!
The site also has some technical details about the truck (http://www.armyvehicles.dk/fordthames.htm).

There has been one for sale in Just Trucks with a missing left headlight. The one close to home had its right headlight missing.

The one for sale in Just Trucks is located in NSW in February was for sale for $500 the truck I looked at was a 1954 Fordson Thames. I have seen NSW Fordson frequently in different issues of Just Trucks.

Regards
Lionel
