The frame assembly has part no A01T 5005 CS, indicating the basis was a 1940 134" wb 1½ Ton Truck. Would "A" indicate Australian design, just as "C" indicates Canadian design?

Seeing the construction of the Dingo's frame combined with its non-Ford standard 110" wheelbase, I can draw no other conclusion this was a shortened and modified frame. Frame assembly A01T 5005 CS is made up from components with 01T, 01Y, 21T, 81T and 11A part numbers.

I'll ask Mike Cecil if he can shed further light on this.
