Ford/chev brought back home

The gun tractor had the battery in the cab... and that looks like the base for the battery box.

there is evidence of a braket with heavy corrosion on the top of it.

but since it a chev frame, there is also remains of a braket on the frame...
id like to see/find pictures of what its supposed to look like. :headscratch:

The base and the holes in floor look like those on a Pattern 12, wonder if this is a carry over from that.

Cheers Phil

Of the hundreds of photos I've taken of the blitz thats the only one showing what's left of the battery holder.

here are some other pictures, there are things on this truck that we dont have any clues about.

its a ford cab no doubt. yes its the convoy lamp thats lights on...

there are two brakets on the top rear section of the cab....Antenna base ?

Also on the roof top, there is two holes and tubes and also a braket with a spring...any idea what this could be ?

[patallen]

funny, the truck still had all its original 6v bulbs, 2 mazda prefocus, and 4 Ford GE canada 6-8v miniatures ones.

there is also the remains of a red lens from one of the rear convoy lamp...

The chassis, motor, wooden steering wheel all say Chev, but the rad mesh and mirror arms say Ford. If it is a Chev wireless then the 'S' on the door should be a 'W/T'. The checker plate on the floor looks too early for a '44 Chev. Has someone used some Ford body bits on this truck?
