Ute or Pickup
Quote:
The vehicle Steve has for sale, is a real oddity . Ford here normally built the typical Aussie utility cars , with a cab and rear body built as one unit - the Army here were issued many of these UTES , basically a civvy vehicle . But for some reason they also assembled a batch of these separate cab / body US style pickups . But the rear body tub is totally different to a US pickup, it is wider I believe .

Aussie Ford Production List
Mike Kelly, I wonder if you could clarify a couple of things. You mention the Aussie Ford production list detailing quantities of Canadian-sourced vehicles.
Were these vehicles imported assembled or unassembled? I understand the commercial chassis to be the 1/2 ton 112" wheelbase chassis with either cowl only or cowl and windshield. I am right? What was the "Passenger Chassis" composed of? Finally, what is a B.P.C. chassis? Thanks, Joe.

Hi
hi joe
This only guesswork on my part . But I believe the stuff from Canada was imported in a disassembled state .. in CKD form or similar . The Ford plant at Geelong was a large factory established in the 1920's . The main thrust of their manufacturing ability was in body work , cabs and body shells and pickup tubs . Don't know if they made any fenders or hoods or grilles ,I don't think they did, I think those parts were Nth American sourced. They made the roadster cab seen on the Marmons and the 1 ton utes . They have a museum at Geelong , the Ford discovey centre I think its called , it is staffed by people who will answer any queries . One of our own MV collectors worked there , he now works at the National auto Museum In South Aust. Matthew Lombard , a kiwi who is into WW2 Humbers .He is a auto historian by proffession. Dont know what BPC chassis means Mike
