Mike..
In '48 when that was a new truck ,Australia probably had not engined up commercial truck production,and trucks like the Ford Cab over were rolling off America's production lines like popcorn..
a switchover from full bore wartime Fords to full bore civilian trucks and they probably exported them all over the world to country's recovering from war time austerity..
Cheaper and faster to import them than to wait in line for your truck..
My guess anyway.
