Default Narrow Ford

Upon looking at Keith's pictures it appears to have been repowered with a diesel. I can see the tell tale for the glow plugs. Also the clutch pedal appears to be missing and the throttle pedal is not original to the truck.

It would be interesting to know the history of this truck and how it was modified.

What an amazing amount of time and effort that been put into this truck, even the wings have been chopped back!. Surely it would have been easier to find something else, rather than going to all this modification work.

Just for the record, these are not Keith's pictures, but he first spotted it on the internet and posted a link here (can't find his post, though )

Could it be fitted with an automatic gearbox?
