Hi Chris,
Well, the jury is still out on that subject! One F22 owner told the editor of Wheels & Tracks his truck is a "late version of the standard 15-cwt 4x4 truck. It was fitted with 20" wheels to enable it to follow FATs and 3-ton trucks in their tracks. With their smaller 9-16" tyres the 15-cwts tended to get stuck, so they fitted larger wheels." The former owner of CK-236140 / FSV327 states he found "blue and red on the metal work where the Divisional signs would have been. The Blue and Red indicated use within the Royal Artillery. No complete census number could be located, but there was a weak image of the letter "H" followed by either a 5 or a 3." Even though "F.22" is stamped on the chassis rail, of course a Ford 22-cwt truck did not exist as the War Office had no 22-cwt truck class defined. In my opinion this type of truck was assembled very late during or early after the war from remaining FAT chassis, possibly specifically for use with artillery units for use as 15-cwt GS trucks or auxiliary artillery tractors (?) Hope this helps, Hanno PS: can you share some pictures of your F22 with us?
