Wilhelm Frey Wagenbau, also from Liestal, made the wooden cabin and also the bed.

More information on this truck and it's restoration can be found on Marcus' web site at the following link: http://www.maurer-markus.ch/ford_a/f..._daten.en.html

Here is another photo from his web site with the truck before he started restoring it:



Fordially,

Thanks, Brad. Great information about a great vehicle.
