Beautiful looking truck....good luck on the restoration.

One question, the crank guide on the front bumper looks like a re-bent Chev one (Ford are cast with a rib facing the rear). Is that maybe original or something Argentina did?

Congratulations Mariano; very nice and complete looking FGT!

I noticed the Argentine conversion on the rear panel, where they enlarged the lids/panels in the pictures you posted of the other FAT's in the scrapyard, but I hadn't noticed the side pins are also enlarged. Quite neatly done!

Hi Alex, thank you!
Our army extended the mechanization of our armed forces with these vehicles acquired after the Second World War. And I modify them like this since we still had horse-drawn artillery and we had to bring elements to fix wooden wheels of the artillery.

ID Tags for FAT Cab 13

Good morning Mariano,
Does your FAT Cab 13 have ID tags mounted on the driver side window sill, lower right corner? If so, are you able to post a picture of them?
Regards, Richard
