Default Hmmm indeed

Well, David:

Another question is where were these post war Fords, and Chevs on the other thread, sourced from?
The Chevs look to be from Holland due to the cab design.
The Fords look straight North American except for the pics from Nuyt of the later trucks that are obviously Dutch also.

So, where did the 42=47 style trucks come from is the question and I am basing the question on the premise that the pics show true postwar year trucks, not left over WWII vehicles.

My best guess is Canada if it is so that the US would not sell military vehicles to Holland for use in the NEI area as mentioned by either you or Nuyt earlier. They could then, for example, be either RHD or LHD. A pin in this little balloon might be that most of that batch of pics from you, Hanno and Nuyt appear to be normal civvie street trucks (not the obvious MH pics of course) and I suppose could have been US sourced. In any case, the cabs and even the bodies are much more representative of typical North American trucks than Dutch ones.

Over to you.

Bill
