Vincent,

Could it be that the door has been recently replaced? It seems to have a slightly different colour and that could also be the reason for the missing data plates.

I seem to remember that the Ford cab13 nose with lettering "FORD" under the headlights, suggest it was built in 1943(?) Hopefully anyone can confirm.

There is a thread here that gives some ideas where to look for a possible chassis number. Sadly not all trucks were stamped with a number!

The Ford script, dash, and rectangular roof hatch all indicate a 1943 vehicle.

1942 too. What is odd is the 'FORD" stampings on the front cowl under the headlamps. That is a later war feature. I'd comment on the floor checker plate pattern (which is the latter style) but that vs. the checker plus dot pattern seems to be hit an miss.

The Ford script combined with the other early features is why I said 1943.

Mid 1943 ??

Hello Vincent,

Check http://www.canadian-register.co.uk/database.html for a listing of surviving Ford CMPs to compare the Chassis No's.

Hope this helps,
