I've seen one other with the brass plate where the Ford script should go - a F60L and the plate was the contract number. There were cab 11 FGTs. The cab 11 ones used different switches too.

Has there been any further updates on this vehicles progress ?
He is doing a superb job on it

Had a call from Lloyd this morning who has almost finished the body.

He has a need for a pattern, or photographs and measurements (or drawings) of the seat bases for the two crew seats which sit lower than the others. Lloyd says they must be on some sort of quick release to make them easily removable.

Lloyd is not on the internet but if anyone can help please post pictures or other information here and I'll print it to send to him.

Hey Keefy - I asked the same question on 4 January in the Restoration Forum and re-asked on the 20th. Only response was from you to say you were looking.

Must be my dementia again.

Still, SURELY someone in Europe or Canada has one with original seats intact?

Is this Lloyd's truck (I think it might be a Chev though?)

Unloading at Ceylon 1942 when Australian 6th Division stopped for a break on the way home.

Yes, that's a CGT. Lloyd's is a Ford, but the bodies were the same for both.
