Todays suprise
 

This Ford 1952 f5 was given to me today , it looks complete , I ve never seen one like it around here.
Does anybody have one like it , with pictures?

Nice score. I always wanted one of them to make a ramp truck.

There are a few in Australia Andrew - (you may already know that).

Ian Styles has one and uses it to shift around his gear.

Very handy to move around a Bren Gun Carrier.

I believe I have that same stake deck sitting out back (courtesy of Derk Derin). If you are going to restore that truck, and want this deck for parts, give me a shout and it's yours.

I learned to drive a truck in the 1948 version
 

Hi

I learned to double clutch driving a 1948 version of the same truck at camp as a teenager, 1960s, picture below is of same truck same camp in 2003.

These trucks are great, engine and transmission are straight forward and easy to work on. Lots of that period Ford F-5s were used by the US Military in non-tactical roles.

Cheers Phil

I learned to drive on a Bedford 15cwt truck in 1950 and also needed to double declutch
