Ford found hiding in a shed

Another local Australian modification on these Ford trucks was the retention of the 1939 Ford windscreen fitted with local production hinges so a fold out windscreen could still be incorporated in the cab.

Great find, lots of potential.

Time has ticked by without noticing since the last post.
This truck has now come to me as the owner had to move and did not have anywhere to take the truck. I have identified it from the ARM registry as ARM 44687 very faintly visible on the bonnet. The chassis number of BB18F 6664584 confirms the ID.
The bad news is that all the timber body has long gone and the engine has had the heads and intake manifold removed long ago, so the engine is an unknown.
It rolls along on the wheels fine although the original runflats have assumed an odd shape.
I don't know what I will do with it yet as I have several other unfinished projects and the clock is ticking.
It is a fine looking truck and is safely out of the weather for the present

A lovely truck, Mr. Sexton. I have a 41 model Ford Marmon Herrington. Very similar but with a Roadster cab. I love the way they hand painted the model type on the firewall. Will have to see if there's any paint left on mine.
