Hello! Do you still need a photo of the data plate? I have an almost identical 1943 cab and Chassis. I'm mean identical! I thought it was actually a picture of my truck! ..... It was used by the RCASC. The data plate is still in place in the middle of the dash, held on with 4 screws! Kind regards, Andy.

The truck is now mine...Derk now collects police cars although he does have a couple MVs left.

Sure, post a pic on here. I'll get around to that truck yet.

Hi. Tried to post pics, but not successful. Getting a weird error message about a missing security token?? I've emailed the administrator. I'll keep trying..

Your photo is too large. Move it onto an editor like paint and adjust the size smaller. I think I reduce one of the two numbers to 800 and it works for me.

I feel I ought to point out that a three tonner with payload up to 6000 lbs would not have a CZ number (up to 15cwt), but a CL one. Nice pics though; I've not seen a Ford dumper before. Body looks lthe same as the Dodge T110 version.

Here are some shots of the D60S/DD here at the Shilo museum. Same dump box, although this one was extended. The truck, as can be seen in the photos, is right hand drive.

The truck was given a restoration back in the 90s, however has since languished and taken on a few war wounds from being shifted around. I'll try and get to it eventually, but there are already a lot of projects ahead of it.

To OP and Rob, I know nothing about those MCPs but wish to say that is a cool looking truck.
