Early CMP Van? - Car, Heavy Utility, 4x2 (Ford C011DF-F8)

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I have given this serious thought as I had mistakenly thought that I had never seen such a truck before! It appeared at first glance to be a C8 HUP, but evidently it is a Ford F8 HUP, # 12 Cab, the bumper only has one leaf support and it has the louvred air intakes. May I suggest British body, and that this is a British -order F8 assembled in Dagenham and bodied in England and subsequently sold under reverse Lend-Lease in 1942-3 to the USAAF?

This was previously acquired under British contract S/M 2030, and assembled under Contract 274/V/4699, 'Car 4 Str 4x2 Utility', and as it was assembled in Dagenham was a Model EC011DF and not as Bart suggested.
