The F in Ford prefixes stands for foreign, here in Australia it means left hand drive, in US and Canada it means a part for a right hand drive vehicle.
In my working life I spent a lot of time in the spare parts dept. Later I was dealer principal.

We now know one should not look at the Ford designation to determine which side of the road to drive on, eh?!? ![]()

C29WQF:
C = commercial vehicle 2 = 1942 9 = 95 hp engine W = cab over engine Q = Canadian War Department quad truck, 4WD F = non-domestic Canadian, ie Foreign, so Right hand drive. The same applies to the "F" in the engine/gearbox combination number in both Canadian and US production, eg 2G37711F - the F denotes configured for RHD chassis, ie non-domestic (RHD) production. Domestic production was all LHD. BB18F6763448 - US type number where F is for non-domestic production, ie for foreign sales for RHD chassis. The 'F' does not mean foreign to Australia, ie LHD - it is a Canadian/US identifier on export items from North American production, no matter where they are located in the world.
