F60L
It's a Ford F60L with a very early ARN.
The body would probably be some sort of Australian hardwood such as Eucalyptus.
The story is it was a 'spare' truck bought after the war and when bought by the previous owner the the seller produced the original tarp from his shed, and that's the one you see on it.
This truck was kept for some time in the Melbourne Tank Museum and you can see it as the 'prop' behind John Belfield in "Year of the Blitz".
She's a gem, isn't she?
