Would this be of any help? http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...252#post214252. Quantity I don't know.
Interestingly, S.N.L. G-1 lists two Ford Bomb Service trucks: • G85, Bomb Service truck: M1 1˝-Ton, 4×4, Ford 19-Y • G109 , M1 Bomb service Truck, Ford, model 19F Now, this clearly isn’t a 4x4 chassis, but a 4x2. The “19-Y” denotes the Ford 1941 model-year 1-Ton Truck with 8-cyl 100hp engine and a 122" wb. chassis. “19-F” is an unknown designation but would denote a 1941 model truck. The subject picture shows a 1942 model front end, so clearly there was some evolution in Ford's 4x2 Bomb Truck while the Ordnance Dept. didn't amend their data. Anyway, to them it was known as an "M1 Bomb Service Truck (Ford)", of which a picture is attached (G85 M1 bomb service truck (Ford) with 1941 model front end - but it is not a 1˝-Ton, 4×4 truck).

That’s my guess too, but I cannot find a Ford reference to “19F” to determine the chassis type.
“19” refers to 1941 model year, the vehicle in question is clearly a 1942 model. Hence my remark above.

The vehicle in the pic has separate headlights, as per the 1941 truck front sheetmetal. The 1942 front has the headlights in the grille panel.

That is where this info came from:
Do you know what they refer to with "19-F" (or "19F")?

M1 Bomb Service Truck, 4x2
Quote:
So are you saying:
I'd say it is not conclusive as two of the other G85 M1 Bomb Service trucks, the Yellow truck & coach AC-25 (1942) and Diamond T 201 3S, are 4x2 trucks. > Yellow truck & coach AC-25 > Diamond T 201 Bomb Service Truck, 50 built in 1942

per Ford
The photo with the number 76443-B in the lower right corner is a Ford model 11-T-S bomb service truck.
The similar looking Ford with the headlights mounted above the fenders rather than sunk into them is a Ford model 11-Y-S bomb service truck. The above information is per the notes accompanying those photos in the collection of the Benson Ford Archives. Best wishes, David Doyle www.DavidDoyleBooks.com |

Ford Bomb Truck evolution

Of course this is a 1942 model, the designation for the same chassis in model year 1942 is 21-T. As said, clearly there was some evolution in Ford's 4x2 Bomb Truck while the Ordnance Dept. didn't amend their data. Interesting to see they opted for a beefed up chassis which could take ˝ Ton more.
