1941 Ford Lionel. This is a good example of a cowl with windscreen import with local body fitted. Assembled (built) by Ford here in Aussie with all the mods required so they did not fall to pieces driving on the North/South Military Highway (now Stuart Highway) In the early days a brand new conventional looking truck could leave Alice Springs and arrive at Darwin missing doors, mudguards and bonnets as the road was so rough the bodies flexed enough for the steel to stress fracture and in the end fall off or get pulled off by the drivers.

Hi Cliff,
Do you happen to have any pictures of this type of trailer? I have got three from the AWM but would like some for more detail to aid correct restoration. Thanks .
