The data plates on a Ford should be on the inside of the right hand door (this is mine):

Default Data plates

Hi Vincent

I can assist with new old stock data plates for Ford CMPs, the first, third and fourth in this picture are available.

You can see the publications plate is specific to your F15.

Please send me a pm if you are interested and I'll send you a price including postage.

Hello Vincent,

I do not know of drawings for top bows, someone will have to measure them for you.

The rear canvas cover can be bought from John & Mary Worthing, see their website http://www.canvasco.com/:

Vincent,

Could it be that the door has been recently replaced? It seems to have a slightly different colour and that could also be the reason for the missing data plates.

I seem to remember that the Ford cab13 nose with lettering "FORD" under the headlights, suggest it was built in 1943(?) Hopefully anyone can confirm.

There is a thread here that gives some ideas where to look for a possible chassis number. Sadly not all trucks were stamped with a number!

Alex

Hi there,

I have the same problem, I would love to know how to date my F60 LAAT but the data plates are not present. The right hand door has no tell tail holes where the data plates should be located ? But I haven’t looked closely at the instrument panel (which I will over the weekend) I hope to find a Chassis number also to cross reference with the register to obtain a rough month of manufacturing.

I will be in touch soon also to purchase some new data plates 😀

Cheers

Mark Towers
