Geoff: Thanks for the assistance! I really appreciate it! Attached is a photo of my 1951 Ford of England, Thames E83W steel box pickup at a fly-in at Delta Heritage Air Park a couple of years ago. I have been helping the Cdn. War Museum a bit with the restoration of their WWII E83W canteen truck. My Vanguard pickup should allow me to attend more events when it is restored as the Thames is limited to 35 MPH so cannot go on any freeways! -Les Foster Delta, BC

Dave: Your Vanguard pickup is a "Phase 2" or Series 2 model. I have a Series 1 but there is not much difference- mainly the rear end styling of the box and the grill, cab corner windows, larger rear window, and other minor items. I was able to locate a former owner of mine who told me the pickup was an orchard truck around Summerland, B.C. It has had several owners since who've each done a bit of work on it. Hopefully, I'll be the one to finish its restoration! Please email me regarding those parts- I've sent you two emails recently- did you get them?? -Les Foster
