This F30 with license plate PFF 503 was for sale on Milweb recently and has found a new owner in the UK - here's hoping he will step forward.

Hello

I am very interessed by the kind of body used by the first series of FORD F30.
Larry HAYWARD shows a FORD CANADA F30 with a cab number 11 and a body made of wood with a rounded rear wheels arch and expects that this body was build in SOUTHAMPTON. On an other reply , HANNO SPOELSTRA shows and other FORD F30 with the same body but with a cab number 12. Do you think that FORD with cab number 12 owns the same body when sorting out the factory.?

In an other domain , I would like to know the denomination of the body made of steel also with rounded rear wheels arche that is in the book "BLUE PRINT FOR VICTORY.

Thanks for any answer

Serge,

Here is another photo of the same steel body on a later CMP 12 Cab, which was definitely produced in Canada. However the origin of the wooden bodies on the F30 I photographed is harder to establish; it may be British and also as Hanno has already suggested that the vehicle may have been shipped to the Middle East, then the rear body could have been built locally in Egypt.

Serge,

As far as I know it is a No. 3C1 body. There's one in Holland and it's body is labelled "type 10 foot QMG No. 3C1".

The one pictured below survives in storage in Norway; another one survives in Belgium.

HTH,
Hanno
