Very nice find, looks a tad chilly on the prairie ! Are the data plates still on the drivers door ? Keep the pics coming.

Hey mate.

What a great find got any photos of the interior? Im with Howard, its a known fact that Australians drop dead at -1 that's why we keep our politicians in the ACT where its bloody cold but the bastards seem to come back to life.

Congratulations we finally have a Ford in the family, looks reasonably complete. Don't see a dog house and just need one seat. The door numbers were late war, 2 numbers a dash than a 3 digit. The first 2 indicates type of vehicle, I remember the FAT had a 87 prefix than a 3 digit number. There was discussion on this years ago, should be information on this forum.

Well its been a while since I started this thread and have a chance to give a couple updates. As I had picked up this unit almost a year ago I had a good week as I have acquired 3 more units this week or I guess it is 2 1/2. This first one I had picked up looked pretty good when I first purchased it but when I got it home and started to look at it closely I found that it was in pretty sad shape drive train wise as the trany case was cracked, rear end was pooched and I believe that the engine block is cracked . So this week Luck would have it I came across 3 units and just got the other 2 home tonight from a road trip . Now I should have enough parts between the bunch to make a good one


A few pictures of the 1/2 one I picked up last Sunday but at least it had the data/serial plates on the dash.

Also can anyone tell me if these two items mounted inside on the back of the cab are original as there is a box and rod bolted to it ??

Sorry no plates, When I first looked at the truck and purchased it the drivers door was not on it and it wasn't till I got home and most of the snow had blown out of the box that I found the door in the bed but all the plates were missing
