Unusual cab13 in South Australia.
I came across this Ford blitz in the South Australian Outback last year. Bit too far to bring home. It has a coach-built cab and reinforced chassis. The windscreen has been swung back but all blitz bits are there. The instruction plate is missing off the engine box but a decal seems to give the instructions. I have never seen a door with this pressing. Is it also coach built or is it a normal door. The ribs come out not pressed in.
The shed it is in has fallen down but it is protecting it. Over to you all.

Fascinating
The door is the most unusual thing there... I've seen (and have) a NOS door without a pattern on the inside but haven't seen that pattern before - like a raised Australian Chev.
The decals were a late production thing, and the fairleads are late production Canadian. The fact it is a "Ford Canada", has a reverse slope on the windscreen and a coach built cab points to it having been built from a kit after the war - without the Australian produced roof and back panel. Did you see what sort of floor it had? Nice to see there's still something new to be found isn't it? Gotta love this country.

Door
If you take a close look at the door is their a weld around the edge? I suspect a Chev inner skin has been reversed & welded on. This truck as Keith suggested could have been made up from kit (left overs) with two right door.
