Default Ford

1940/41 Ford 12 cwt Van. This is one the Nth. American style pickups that Ford Australia assembled for the war effort, these featured the 1940 sedan car front grill and guards. The late production examples had roof hatches. This one appears to have reg. 5319 - it could be this vehicle I found in AWM 126: 5319 was issued to the 1 Provo Coy. NT force, it is listed as a 15 cwt . it was disposed to a Mr. L. B????L

Ian S at Temora has one of these finished in the desert yellow livery. Ian mentioned: the bonnet is unique to this model because it has to align with the truck cab and the more common car/sedan bonnet will not fit. Ian had to import the special bonnet from N.Z.
