Awesome truck Robert. Good to see you guys recovered this one....and re-united it with the proper body!
There is a Ford Ambulance in Belgium, but that's a F60L....and another here in Holland; I seem to remember it's also an F60L. I think there is at least one or two F30 Ambulances in the UK, one that featured here on MLU before that didn't start life as an ambulance, but got the body transplanted later in life. I agree they are definitely rare......and supurb candidates for a restoration. regarding the 1941 build.....I had the same impression others had/have that the first cab 13's were built in 1942......but your truck might prove us wrong, however I can't help it to be skeptic. What kind of dash does it have? is the roof a solid one? is there any lettering under the headlights? Attached is a picture of 2 in postwar Dutch service. source:https://nimh-beeldbank.defensie.nl/f...6-29a3f34f29ce source:https://nimh-beeldbank.defensie.nl/f...0-7cfa44f7c258

As an aside, I wonder why there were so few CMP ambulances, while across the border more than half of all WC series 3/4 ton Dodges were ambulances.

My answer would be they were too cumbursome . Canadians used Jeeps and UC īs .More agile , faster on broken roads and off road . Most pictures of casualty evacuation show Jeeps and Universal Carriers . on the way back to the front they could bring up troops and ammunition and that’s exactly what they did . Even today , our armed Forces have very few ambulances , they are next to useless on the battlefield . The medics and helicopters do the job .Ambulances are of use in training in country . Plus , those big red crosses are nice aiming points..

I suspect these are the control knobs for the blinkers or even maybe a siren .
