Modified Conventional Pattern Trucks

[Scott Cacciamani]

Hi, Great tread. Does anyone have figures for Ford half ton pickups (15cwt) sold to the British army in Lybia or in general. I'm partcularly interestred in the 1940 models used by the lrdg. It appears at least the early ones were bought off a lot. I do see ford pickups in Palestine from 1937 on and it looks like the Indian army used a great many. thanks

Probably in the picture is a Maple Leaf 16 series 2.5-tone with a GM-H cab.How was this vehicle designated in Australia? 16-41/Е? What wheelbase could it have? 135 1/4", 159 1/4" or 177 1/4"?

The wheelbase should be listed in the chart found in this thread: What makes a truck a Maple Leaf?

Thanks Hanno. The table shows three wheelbase sizes. I assume that the truck in the photo has - 159 1/4".
