This is the 1940 Ford F30S I have For Sale. It is a very early one with the Chev diffs front and rear.

The Chassis is straight.

It still has it's original fuel tanks.

Even the lack of wear on the rubber pedals point out it hasn't had a hard life.

The engine turns over on the crank and it rolls along OK.

Due to my ongoing health problems it is one I will not be restoring.

Many more photos available.

Default Some Condenser details

Here's what I've got, based on various photos. Bearing in mind there seems to be some variation with thinner/ taller and shorter/ wider versions. This is the version with the breather tube which doesn't seem to be always fitted. The drawing is for a Chevrolet 1533X2 and is incomplete, missing the mount as I don't have the details yet to be happy enough to draw them. Also there seems to be variation in mounts with some better braced against the body work with an extra bracket, most likely due to the condenser swaying forwards and backwards, especially during cross country driving , causing metal fatigue of the earlier and simpler mount. Hope that helps. No known images of the bottom, I've presumed it was flat and featureless, but not currently 100% about that as I've never seen a photo of the bottom.
First photo shows a Chevy 1533X2 with braced mount, breather tube and flat top
Second is on a Chevy 1311X3 and has a rim around the top.
Third photo shows a Chevy 1533X2 with an earlier simpler mount and a taller thinner can.
Bear in mind we are talking about the LRDG, so nothing is set in stone!

Default Thanks for the info......

..... makes one wonder what kind of ready made container they used or modified for the condenser.... so dimensions are not critical.........

Thanks again.
