Default Re: Hub cap identification




For the benefit of GB SISSON, I am adding these pictures of an Australian 1940 Ford 122 Inch Open-Cab Pick-Up that I used to see frequently rusting away in a local back yard around 40 year ago. Originally, this vehicle would have worn the same style Hubcaps that started off this Thread. It was still wearing it's original Queensland License Plate. Back then, the only plate issued in Queensland was the one fitted to the rear. That all changed in 1955, when we got a new series of Plates that were required to be fitted to the front and rear. I have not seen or heard of it since, so I don't know if it still exists? I am not sure if it was the 01D Series 15-18 CWT model, or the 01Y Series 1 Ton and 25-30 CWT version. You will see that the rear body portion is not joined to the front part. I hope you enjoy looking at these pictures of a vehicle that I believe was unique to Australia?
