Very good score Robert! Our troops had to out up with the one size fits all Australian publication which covered all the models we had here, same thing was done with the Ford handbooks.

This guy sounds like he's had a hard time. Someone give him a break. Actually looks like it might be a good truck, too.

Hi Tony.

Hard to tell, but is that part of a winch cable guide system tucked under the left rear corner of the chassis. Two horizontal discs with a bit of cable hanging out between them? Can’t see anything on the front bumper though.

It certainly looks like it. I don't see cable guides along the left frame rail either but they sometimes get ripped off...

Yes it is fitted with a winch. A bloke came to look at the 1940 Cab 11 Ford F30S I have for sale, last Friday and was going to look at this one on Gumtree on Saturday. Seems he is looking for a Cab 11/12 to modify into a 'who knows what' with a big Cummins engine etc.

I quickly told him that my F30S was not for sale as he was going to cut and modify it. My F30S is still for sale. Now at $3,750. as I need it gone.

I was recently looking to buy, restore and I would like to think to save and use a CMP from NSW. It has sat in the same place for decades, unused, out in the weather. What price would the vendor reasonably expect to get for it? He says he wants $15k!!

Appreciate some buyers are difficult and time wasters, but if some potential sellers think they are so valuable, then why would they not have looked after them a bit better and given them a better life, or give them a better life by moving them on to a user, history preserver, repairer/sympathetic restorer? Leaving them under a tree long term is not a great way to look after them!!
