1940 Ford truck ID please
Hello all. Would like to identify this truck my son bought 20+ years ago. It has an extremely heavy chassis and front axle and is on 18" wheels. He was told it was an Australian Army 'desert truck' Any info would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Charlie.

Looks right
Hi; Those two wheel drive trucks were common in ww2 service. Ford truck books show them in N Africa and the India theater, as well as in general service. Not all were 'Desert' though. Early Ford V8 Club is International for info. Newc

If it has a heavy chassis , it might be a Marmon Herrington truck (possibly)

1940 Ford truck ID
Thank you Dave and Shaun.
Am I correct in saying the fords with headlights on stalks as opposed to set into guards are 1940? Where should I look for a chassis number? I am curious as to what body it might have had as the chassis and front axle are heavier than that of a 3 ton long wheelbase ford truck remains I have. Its 2 wheel drive so not Marmon, although I have a long wheel base Marmon 4X4 remains that was used to haul bananas for yonks. Had a wooden cab, C cab I think they were called. Charlie

A few photos of the ‘heavy’ part of the chassis might help.
Headlights on stalks included 1941. 1942 the headlights went onto the guards.

.... and the chassis number and any other markings/stampings such as the body info stamped into the firewall, would all help, too.
