For good measure, here´s a drawing from a TM (courtesy of Dirk Leegwater) of a US-built 1942 Ford Truck, 1½ Ton, 4x2, Cargo Body and Closed Cab. It's model designation 2G8T means it was a 1942 model 4x2 1½ Ton Truck, with 158in wheelbase chassis and 90-hp 6-cyl. engine. Note 7.50-20 tyres and standard US military cargo body.
