What does the number plate say? '?2961': is it a 'V' or a 'C' at the start?
Mike Kelly care to comment, as you are pretty good with the Ford/Chev 12-15cwt models?

Hi there
Yes I had a look. First thing I noticed is: the doors have single piece glass . This is a Nth. American style cab , not Ford Aust. The Geelong cabs used the quarter windows in the doors , a unique fitting I believe .
I have previously spotted Sth African forces utes , that are outwardly similar to the Aussie vehicles . Just a guess, but that vehicle pictured may have been a African assembled Ford with local pickup bodywork on it .
