A utility (ute) is what we call it downunder. After all, we invented them!

Phil,

The vehicle Steve has for sale, is a real oddity . Ford here normally built the typical Aussie utility cars , with a cab and rear body built as one unit - the Army here were issued many of these UTES , basically a civvy vehicle .

But for some reason they also assembled a batch of these separate cab / body US style pickups . But the rear body tub is totally different to a US pickup, it is wider I believe .

Mike Kelly, I wonder if you could clarify a couple of things. You mention the Aussie Ford production list detailing quantities of Canadian-sourced vehicles.
Were these vehicles imported assembled or unassembled? I understand the commercial chassis to be the 1/2 ton 112" wheelbase chassis with either cowl only or cowl and windshield. I am right? What was the "Passenger Chassis" composed of? Finally, what is a B.P.C. chassis? Thanks, Joe.

No Bob, I wish I had it but it's part of the auction.
