Ford/chev brought back home

[Yeo.NT]

I do believe this is your truck on youtube, from what I've seen in the videos it would appear to be a late 1943 to early 1944 C15.

Hi, about battery tray, could there be that the ford cab had the battery behind the passenger seat ?
there is evidence of a braket with heavy corrosion on the top of it.

but since it a chev frame, there is also remains of a braket on the frame...
id like to see/find pictures of what its supposed to look like. :headscratch:

[patallen]

that infamous "S"

no numbers found anywhere yet....

The gun tractor had the battery in the cab... and that looks like the base for the battery box.

The base and the holes in floor look like those on a Pattern 12, wonder if this is a carry over from that.

Also the standard "Yaven Ck" mod for the driver's seat.

The chassis, motor, wooden steering wheel all say Chev, but the rad mesh and mirror arms say Ford. If it is a Chev wireless then the 'S' on the door should be a 'W/T'. The checker plate on the floor looks too early for a '44 Chev. Has someone used some Ford body bits on this truck?
