These pics define the 1940 and 41 differences: 1940.. no roof hatch , civilian bumber , non-opening windscreen, narrow bonnet trim 1941 .. roof hatch, channel bumber with spring and towing 'D' rings and opening windsreen , wide bonnet trim and 'FORD' badges on bonnet sides and dash panel . The cabs were made at Geelong . The bonnets and guards: imported from Canada . The van bodied variant pictured is a mobile DENTIST ! Mike

MCP = Male Chauvinist Pig!
 Otherwise in 1940, the DND refererred to 'Commercial' cabs, vehicles, etc. and subsequently to 'Conventional'. The former when CMPs were 'DND Pattern'. No doubt 'Ciivilian' was also used at some stage in some quarters.

Thanks all for the replies and info. This truck was used in "the Great Raid" movie as a Jap truck. That will explain the apparent resto look- there is a bit of deep down stuff to do to it though!
I realise the expense of canvas...its something that is needed though so i will just have to fork out for it. The info on model year etc is interesting, you can see on the bonnet when you look closely where the trim would have been. Where would I get replacement trim? Are repros available? What are some good parts sources for these other than another truck? (I do not have any more room!!!!!!!) cheers Steve
