I pulled this image off the old Maple Leaf Up site from years ago. Does anyone have a hi-res version of this? Does anyone know where it originated?

I agree. Although Jiffy identifies it as an early Ford prototype I disagree. Insofar as the body is concerned, bot Ford and GM obtained their bodies from the same manufacturer, and Ford continued these features the following year, this body is missing some features of that body.
I also don't like the placement of the headlights. too bad we can't make out if it is left- or right-hand drive. Clive

Observations.....
vvvv....blah using a new wireless key board...and it's weird....
Headlights are old style but not but not CMP bucket style. They pretty wellhave to be mounted on the engine cover as the fenders are motorcycle style. If the underside is correct there is no room for a T-case or a driven front axle..... frame seems very thin....... front bumper has a civilian spring type look with tow hooks mounted on top like modern 4x4.... Wheel bolt pattern look similar...8 bolts to a CMP..... hood has a radiator cap similar to later Fords. I can"t beleive someone would drive this truck with no side support on the seat or any restraining straps for the driver-passenger. Strange drop side box...... when open it will hit or sit on the rear fenders at 90 degrees.... ...Would someone be intrerested in a new Logitech French keyboard ......cheap. Cheers

There is a shadow of an external rear vision mirror on the left hand side (but no mirror on the right side), so I would say it's LHD. All Ford trucks of the 30's and 40's had the handbrake lever mounted to the right side of the gearbox. Engine cowl looks too short to house a straight six and radiator.

My research has led me to understand the 1937 and 1939 purchases (delivered in 1938 by GM and 1940 by Ford respectively) but I have not yet uncovered a photo of the single pilot produced, in 1937, by Ford.
 I wonder if this is it?
