Default 1-ton Fords

Thanks Nuyt!

I checked Norm's Ford book again and unless they are miscaptioned there are photos of a 1939 Ford 1-ton 'half-door' GS truck with roadster cab as I would callit, and a 1-ton Battery Staff, Wiresless utility on a 01Y chassis.

I have just found the 1940 and 1941 engine numbers [and thus serial numbers] for Canadian Fords by calendar month. I assume that the 1941 T.1L was the Carrier? The 1940-on listing of engine types confirms that there were 'LHC' and 'RHC' versions of every engine type.

This brings me to the suggestion that I contact Sandra Notarianni, the Ford of Canada historical consultant and ask her if she knows of any sales of chassis to Marmon-Herrington from Windsor...to Windsor in fact! Judging by what Robert was saying the M-H components were sourced from Canadian Traction although the Timken-Detroit components were imported from the Timken Axle Corporation in Detroit by CT. Can we assume that if the Australian M-H chassis came from Canada that the NEI components did as well?
