The pictured truck is RHD and probably assembled as a CKD kit using locally made parts as well. Not 100% sure if Ford Australia made their own cabs or used fully made cabs from Canadian production. I do know that GM Holden made their own cabs here in Australia.

Most of these, and earlier model Fords were purchased outright by the Australian Govt. but this does not mean that we did not get any fully built up lend lease ones either. I know we had a lot of Lend Lease Chevy 30cwt and 3 ton models plus GMC production like GMC-CCKW. ALL Studebaker US6 vehicles were purchased outright by the Australian Govt.

Also as I have no idea where or who the photocopied page came from or whose contract numbers are written therein I have to guess at where they may have gone. For instance is it a records book from United States production or from Canadian production. I am guessing Canadian as it mentions Fargo trucks which were mainly built for export at the Canadian Chrysler plant. Also are they Lend Lease items or orders from Commonwealth countries? As I said before if they are Australian Orders, most of these were paid outright by the Australian Govt.
