Looking again at the vehicle photo I posted, it looks like the rear tail board hinges on the tub are at the top, so this may be a tipper, and if so it could still have been 're-manufactured' to help the war effort, perhaps for road or runway construction, hence the need for the blackout light.

And no-one has pointed out that it is fitted with Chev axles. Just how many Ford Cab II had Chev axles fitted?
Regards Rick

I think I assumed it was a Ford as the typical Chevrolet radiator and badge was not present. After all the radiator is not exactly standard WW2 is it? Does this change things?

Early no vent Fords were fitted with early cast Chev axles. A lot of 30cwt's with no vents were issued to the New Zealand forces in the Middle East and returned back to NZ after the war. Some of these over the past few years have appeared for sale in NZ. The NZ army replaced the Chev axles with split Ford axles during rebuilds in the early 1950's.
Hope this helps
