I have watched the show .

The ute owner did say that it is a ex-military vehicle, but he preferred to paint it in civvy colours .

He also said that these soft top vehicles were confiscated from civilian owners as a normal truck and the cab top was cut off the cab to make it into a canvas top

The ute body on it looked like a mock up , understandable .

Yes Mike a potentially nice old rare ex Military Ford that one. Don't like the paint job but it's the owner's perogative guess.

I know of a restorable 1937 Ford Utility near my place. It appears to have been used by the military. Not complete but not too rusty yet local collectors have consistently ignored it. I could have it for free but it's not my thing...

Cheers

Phill
