Ford Truck Model letters
Difficult to find out whether this has been discovered in this forum discussion as yet but I think that the letter suffixes! are likely to be:
"D" as in 11D is the body type ie 3/4 ton
"Y" as in 11Y is the body type 1 ton
"T" as in 11T is the body type Regular Truck
"W" as in 11W is the body type Cab over engine
so C191W is (C) Canadian built, (1) 1941, (9) 95bhp engine, (1) 101" wheelbase and (W) Cab over engine body.
and....wait for it!!!
C11AD is (C) Canadian built, (1) 1941, (1) 85bhp engine, (A) ?, (D) 3/4 ton station wagon body.
So David what's the "A" stand for? Its in the place where it should refer to the chassis size. The C11AD had a chassis size of 114". I also believe that the shorter chassis models didn't have the chassis no. in the prefix and it was only the 101", 158", 176" which did.
Sorry if this is going over old ground everyone but I couldn't find out if this had been finalised!! Now I will find out!!
