Here's another 1940 Ford Pickup, modified for desert use.

The more I look at these type of trucks the more I am convinced these have standard pickup beds, albeit modified.

Default Ford V8 pilot car

Via Brendan O'Carroll: "Major Clayton's Ford V8 pilot car "Te Rangi" after capture by the Italians after the battle of Jebel Sherif in Jan 1941. Also captured was his NZ crew Wink Adams and Clarrie Roderick."

The bed in this photo does look standard. I can see the panel line. I'm not sure about the others. I have decieded to make a bed from scratch. I Have most of the feature but will have to try and scale some photos.
thanks scott
