And here is a wartime picture, showing a pair of Fords with this type of body while training in the UK.

Thanks Hanno,

Those photos will certainly be a help. The last photo is of Cab12's and on 20" wheels.

Picked up 3 16" wheels from Robert Pearce yesterday, so now have 5. One is wider than the other four. It is about 1" wider than the standard wheels so I don't know what that is off. At least I'll be able to unload it off the trailer ready for the next recovery.
Regards Rick.
