To follow on from Hanno's post, the Australian Army started to convert such MC trucks to 20 inch rims from local production, with the ability to fit them as duals on the rear. It became a general policy from 1944 onwards for the MC types that were to be retained in service (mainly Fords and Chevs). Might explain the wheel difference to the CDN production vehicle.

Hello Hanno and Mike, thanks for the replies. You're right, there is a wealth of info available. I will have a look for a data plate or chassis/engine number this weekend (in daylight) and post the results (if any) . Thanks again.

Hello,
The only numbers I can find so far are stamped onto the firewall; 1726 with a symbol first. I'll have a look through the forum to see if I can find what it means. |

Hi Jason..have a look on the top of the transmission bellhousing.There should be a machined flatspot with a number.Most of the Fords from the 40's had their VIN # info stamped on that pad.You may have to take the transmission tunnel (cover) off to get at it.
cheers man corey

If I've got it right, there's a workshop manual for the modified conventional pattern trucks on ebay at the moment.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...m=370610877152 That may help with your truck (no connection with seller). |
