it's been awhile since i've posted. but things are back on track. i've made a lot of progress on the truck and will put some new picts up. been thinking about getting a 1940 hood for the truck but haven't found one for a reasonable price. wasn't sure if i should keep posting picts of the restoration here or start a new thread under restoration thread. i'll let the fourm moderators decide that.

it's funny that you posted these pictures. both of my doner trucks were of this body style (left hand drive). was never a big fan of this body style around here it's a popular hot rod pick up truck body. this site (MLU) is loaded with images of 40-41 fords these are some of the pictures that i've been looking at for some ideas.

this one is a german (european) built with the one piece windshield but other wise a 40-41 ford body. although the more i look at this picture it appears to printed in reverse. fill neck for the gas tank is on the wrong side or am i completely off and this is not a ford?

Hi Leo,
I see what you mean. So let's try it:



I'm ready to agree the swastika on the flag was reversed, it happened sometimes. Let's suppose also the cab isn't German/European but the openable windshield was lost. Now the truck looks almost CF60L MCP. Almost, because now there is another problem: in this version of the picture it turned to LHD!

I like that trick. Lhd should mean German/European cab.

Exactly here is the problem: I'm not aware of any German Ford and, in that matter, of any German wartime truck, with split rim wheels.

Hi Leo. Your picture of the truck in the mud near Rimini, is a Kiwi one, from the NZ Ammunition Company NZASC (69 0n red/green square).

Cheers,
Pete M.
