It looks like it's a Ford Cab 11 4x2 and it has the 2A1 wooden box. The windshield and doors have been removed but in the desert you'd have to get rid of the heat from that V8 water heater somehow! The canvas hoop on the back of the cab and the little "windscreen" are definitely field mods.It doesn't have the towing D-rings on the bumper but notice the towing loops behind the bumper. These and the 2A1 box point to early 1940 production but it does have the cab vents.
David, wouldn't January 1941 onwards be 12 cabs? To me, this looks like June or July 1940 production. The 2B1 metal boxes seem to show up on the late cab 11s.
This is the same type vehicle as in Atillio's DAK truck identification thread.
