Mystery truck
I can't think these days! Does anyone have a suggestion as to which make this truck is, photographed either during or immediate post-war in the bombed-out Canadian CMD (GM Ltd, Southampton plant)? I keep thinking it's a Ford but I am stumped.
 Cheers!

Sure looks like a Ford to me David. About 1940 model. The 5 stud wheels look correct for a Ford.

Ta!
Thanks! A Dodge eh? That might explain those louvres/louvers.
And we have a reader! Do you like the CMP story which is running? Thousands of potential readers are missing out on the history of the development of the CMPs written by Yours Truly, though regrettably very condensed.

Ford
Either a 1938 - 39 with the Barrell Nose Grill or the 1940 41 with the waterfall Grill If you look on the Gun Tractor Database on this forum and about the fifth entry down is an entry by Tony Smith showing a 1939 Marmon Herrington Gun Tractor here in New Zealand, Although it is a softtop it has the same basic cab and side grill as the photo showing that it is a 1938/9 Ford probably a 3Tonner sorry not a dodge regards kev
