Cab11 F30S - border raiding
Well I'm home from South Australia with my new project.
It is a 1940 Ford Cab 11. 134"wb. with Chev Diffs.
The Bart Vanderveen Observer's Fighting Vehicle Directory (World War II) states"Very early Ford 30-cwt 4X4 trucks were designated F30S. the 'S' indicating short wheelbase, it was later omitted since there was no long-wheelbase version of this model. these early production models had GM banjo-type axles."
Now, the question is, What type of body was fitted to the F30S? What is available now?
The engine turns over and the drive line all works. Not too much rust in the cab. Missing is the drivers seat, and dog-house covers. Also missing are the 16" wheels. It came with 3 20" wheels only. Passenger door handle is also wrong. There is no ID plate, I think that it was attached to the missing dog-box panels.
So, just how rare is this one? Can't be too many out there nowdays.
Regards Rick.
