Default Ford Ambulance

Hi Phil,
I have a Cab 13 Ford 60 cwt long and at first I thought my CMP was a 1944 model as the only date I could find on it was the windshield glass etching 1-44 (the data plates were missing)but then Keith Webb identified the truck as an earlier model,possibly 1942 by the early dash and the smaller steering box and when I was outside yesterday looking it over,noticed a date of manufacture tag on the steering box 1-43 so now I know it is an early 1943 truck.
I am not sure what body was originally on the truck as I bought it with a newer flat deck mounted on the back and with the original data plate missing there is no way to tell.
The truck has been waiting for 3 years now to go to the sandblasters but I was sidetracked with my Ford GPW jeep project and I hope to get started on it next year!I have a thread started with photo's of my truck in the softskin section "Ford 3 ton CMP"
Regards,Derk.
