Default 8440

Here's a shot of the underside of the bonnet of a CGT in Australia where we had the practice of painting the nomenclature including year of manufacture, although there are many different variations. Some gun tractors for instance have simply "GT 1943"

This is the underside of the bonnet of my FGT, again with non standard nomenclature:

"C291 F.A.T. 4X4" According to Mike Cecil this is typical of the sort of hand painted nomenclature applied at the Ford factory in Geelong.
