I removed one of these starter levers from a late model 1944 / 1945 Ford F60L a number of years ago. There was not much left of the truck but it was apparent that it was an original piece of equipment. The truck had been professionally converted to look less military after it was surplussed. Essentially they just "rounded" out the sheet metal and sloped the windshield forward. I believe the companies name was Taylor and the trucks were referred to as a "Taylor Special." A number of them were purchased by Ontario Hydro for use on power lines.

I can't imagine how hot the cab would have been with a firebox and chimney inside! But, the design was probably recognizable enough to the troops who had to use it.
