The proof is on the data plate . One of the very first Cab 13’s made on 23 December 1941 !!!

Yes. But we have seen examples of data plates being switched. So for me it takes a little bit more to be convinced. Happy to hear more from those in the know!

But "3G" engine on a 1941 build plate? How can that be swapped around? |

So this engine number has appeared a good 12 months earlier than expected. |

Thank you all for the comments . Tony , can you translate that in plain english please ? I mean the 3 G thing . What i know and have seen : I was all over that truck and towed it 150 Km to my shop. The cab is a 13 . The engine house is original to the truck and the data plate is original to the engine house . The data plate has never been removed . There is evidence of a hole in the rear of the cabin and a corresponding one on the box to pass wires or hot water hoses . The ambulance house is not original to the truck and was bought seperately . I have spoken to the seller who is a respected member of this group. There is no doubt it’s a 30 Cwt Dec 23 1941 AMBU Cab 13 truck as far as i am concerned . When did Ford stop making 30 Cwt trucks ? Rob Love said previously that according to his reading of the design records he expected Cab 13 ´s production started in December of 41. Time to chime in Rob ? This is getting interesting !

The cargo box on this truck used to be my daughters playhouse back in the late 90s before I sold it on to the present owner.
Re the date, I will have to look again at the Cab 13 in the Design Records, but I am certain it was December of 41. The 3G engine is puzzling. I guess what we need is someone who has Peter Ford's old infoex list to see what the relative chassis serial numbers were at Dec of 41, thus ensuring that this isn't a slip-up of the 41 vice a 42 date. |
