Vincent,

Could it be that the door has been recently replaced? It seems to have a slightly different colour and that could also be the reason for the missing data plates.

I seem to remember that the Ford cab13 nose with lettering "FORD" under the headlights, suggest it was built in 1943(?) Hopefully anyone can confirm.

There is a thread here that gives some ideas where to look for a possible chassis number. Sadly not all trucks were stamped with a number!

Alex

The Ford script, dash, and rectangular roof hatch all indicate a 1943 vehicle.

1942 too. What is odd is the 'FORD" stampings on the front cowl under the headlamps. That is a later war feature. I'd comment on the floor checker plate pattern (which is the latter style) but that vs. the checker plus dot pattern seems to be hit an miss.

The Ford script combined with the other early features is why I said 1943.

Hi there,

I have the same problem, I would love to know how to date my F60 LAAT but the data plates are not present. The right hand door has no tell tail holes where the data plates should be located ? But I haven’t looked closely at the instrument panel (which I will over the weekend) I hope to find a Chassis number also to cross reference with the register to obtain a rough month of manufacturing.

I will be in touch soon also to purchase some new data plates 😀

Cheers

Mark Towers
