1941 Fordson WOT 2H truck. After 10 years

Hello,

All the bodies were built in the same place, then shipped to the various truck manufacturers, i believe the wood used was portugese marine pine. You need a gap of about 1/16th between the planks to allow the body to flex.

Hi John

Interesting comment from you. The MCC 15 cwt bodies I have bits of, have cast brass plates on them , announcing " MCC GS body Mk2 " or similar .

Id be interested to know if you have any details of where the bodies were made . May have been a case of the WD supplying the same drawings to various manufactuers , thats why the bodies appear to be so similar'. Mike

Hi Ian
Just came across your fordson,
a chap has asked me to tell him where the chassis no and engine number are located. I do not known,
can you tell me?
as regs refugee cargo some vehicle's came in with the stepsister convoy in April 1942,
I would like details of these as I am trying to trace Austin K2y Ambulances that arrived here around that dat, unfortunately, all those sent to Queensland are not recorded in the books,
I have found only 60 listed but then only 35 Austin K2y's are listed(NSW) but I know at lest 54 arrived here.
