Yes, quite the optimist!
Especially offering to post to the USA. I wonder whether the Dalmatian is included. Quote:

Ford CMP truck on Ebay
Hi Keith,
Hope not. If the Dalmatian goes with the truck to to the USA it could be another Pistol & Boo Johnny Depp situation in reverse! Cheers

Ford CMP Australian body wooden chassis spacers
Good Day All,
It is amazing what you can sometime glean from a photo. While Looking closely at these EBay photos I noticed wooden spacer blocks inside the left chassis rail. I remember a thread on the subject of these spacers blocks as used on the Canadian bodied vehicles but was unsure if Australian bodied trucks also used chassis spacer blocks as I had never seen any of them on any truck here. That photo answered my question. Considering how many things are missing on that vehicle it is surprising that they are still there. Looks like I will have to sharpen up on my woodworking skills. Cheers,

Spacers
The FGTs used wooden spacers. I made a replacement set identical to the originals except I used KD Australian hardwood.
Don't know whether these were originally supplied with the chassis or locally made.

Frame spacers blocks
Hi Keith,
Thanks for that info. Makes sense that there would be something in between the top and bottom flanges to prevent them bending when the bolts are tightened. I only just noticed the lower flange on the left side of my truck's chassis was slightly bent up, about 4 mm, at the front body mount bolts. My neighbor has a porta pack so it should not be too difficult to open it back up to the correct distance. Cheers,

A 12 Cab!
Nice roof!
 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/1942-Fla...item2aa5676427 Wonder if that number on the side is original?

Looks like an interesting truck , possibly loaned to U.S. Army. Returned to Australian Army worn out.
Mike C might comment on what the notations mean. Ken
