Hi Steve,

Nice pic, again!

I'd like to know if the Jailbar Fords assembled in Canada were right-hand drive - click here to see Sean Spencer's pictures of an ex-Canol Project 1942 1½-ton 4x4 Ford/Marmon-Herrington truck.

Now, were any of these trucks ordered by the Canadian government? Why would it be right-hand drive, then? As far as I know vehicles for use in Canada (domestic use) had left-hand drive. Also, I have not heard of Marmon-Herrington All-Wheel Drive Conversion kits being fitted to Ford trucks in Canada.

An alternative explanation for the right-hand drive on this truck could be that it was an ex-Netherlands East Indies contract vehicle, which was diverted to other Allied armies because it could not be delivered after Java being overrun in 1942.

Who can tell more?

Regards,
Hanno
