1941 30 Cwt F-30 ambulance
I helped a friend pull this beauty out of a field . He says it’s rare and desirable . Anyone with info on it ? Is there another known in existence ?

Were they building 13 cabs in 1941?

According to my source , yes , Ford began making Cab 13’ concurently with cab 12 ´s on the same production line in Windsor .I will ask him for a picture . 1942 is known as the beginning of cab 13’s but that might well be a misconception .

The design branch records show a prototype/pilot 13 cab in December of 1941, so it might be possible to see a December truck.

Here are a few pictures of the inside of the box. Same window latches as in my Wireless -5 boxes of 1944 .

It is rare. Desirable? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder….
Good to see the rear body is rather complete. 1941 - really? Always thought Cab 13s were not assembled before 1942.

Me too but it would seem there is evidence - nice to see one of the first Cab 13s ever built surviving.

The proof is on the data plate . One of the very first Cab 13’s made on 23 December 1941 !!!

Yes. But we have seen examples of data plates being switched. So for me it takes a little bit more to be convinced. Happy to hear more from those in the know!

But "3G" engine on a 1941 build plate? How can that be swapped around?
