Hi Leo,
I see what you mean. So let's try it:



I'm ready to agree the swastika on the flag was reversed, it happened sometimes. Let's suppose also the cab isn't German/European but the openable windshield was lost. Now the truck looks almost CF60L MCP. Almost, because now there is another problem: in this version of the picture it turned to LHD!

I like that trick. Lhd should mean German/European cab.

Exactly here is the problem: I'm not aware of any German Ford and, in that matter, of any German wartime truck, with split rim wheels.

it's been awhile since i've been able to post any updates. i'm pretty much done with the truck. runs and drives quite well on the road and seems to perform great off road as well. like any project there's still some stuff to finish. but i'm a happy camper. i'll have more picts to post soon.

welcome aboard. as far as the pictures go i find that i have to resize them to be able to post them. is your truck currently restored or is in the works? this a great site for info on war time fords. and they treat us guys with a slightly different shade of tan paint really well.

here's some from this past years Collings foundation. if you go to you tube and look for "battle for the air field 2016" you can see some footage of the truck in 'action'. if you do go note that i'm actually driving the Hetzer and one of my friends is driving the truck. lol. the first pict is of the truck and a PAK 184r (captured russian anti tank gun 45mm), parked next to the flak 36 88mm and last looking thru the driver periscope of the Hetzer at the 41. it's weird watching someone else drive your truck.
