Here's where the data plate attaches. Bob's right about Fords being the only ones with the number stamped in the frame and that's only on the 11 and 12 cabs.

Default more pics

pass door numbers z452-288 ,is this a crf #?

no place for a number plate on the drivers side above lube plate.

The only add ons are some overload rear springs , mirors, engine might not be original because the oil filler is on the front of engine not on rear .

Default f15 cab11

I made it out to dads farm last week and had a look at the cab 11 to see what axles it has and it does have GM axles front and rear.
Was this common for this time period?

Default Stampings

The Australian cab 13 Fords are mostly stamped on the frame either on the vertical or top face of the frame on the drivers side. If it's on the top as most are it is almost impossible to see without taking the splash shield off.

Default Good example of wartime make - do.....

Certainly worth restoring and keeping the original GM axles...... quite common to see a GM Heavy Duty cast front axle with a regular Ford split axle on the rear.

When you have a look again ...see if the front axle has a bolted cover on the axle or cast in one piece with heavy reinforcement ribs near the spring perch.

Strange to see Ford shock absorbers attched to GM axles.....

That Ford truck has exceptionally good sheet metal......
