Ford F15a Vehicle identification

[Bob Carriere]

The cab 11 and 12 I have seen all have the dot diamond plate ..... and again from my limited experience cab 13.... even the earlier ones have the plain diamond plate..... could it be stricly a time issue .... such as earlier models had the dots and somewhere in early 41 or 42 the plain diamond plate was then available..... on my cab 11 the step diamond plates (2) are plain without dots.....are they all like that???

The old guy from the metal fabricating shop I buy from recalls the old dot stuff and claims it disappeared during the war.... still found on older junked farm equipment....

Now what about the bottom diamond plate in the GS boxes.... all I remember seings are the plain diamond plate...NO dot plate..... Comments any one?????
