Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
I almost bought a 1941 Ford ute a few years back, It was near Perth Australia...I was really interested in it until I got the shipping quote $5000...They wanted more to ship it to the U.S. than what the sale price of the vehicle was $4400...It was in fair condition and had the 40 Ford standard grille with trim just like a 41 Ford sedan delivery...Right hand drive with no motor or tranny...Very rare and very cool...Still wish I could have gotten it!

Ford Australia Identification Manual - Page for the 1941 Ford Ute. Griffin's 41 Ford, that Ute that you were interested in buying might have been a 1941 model. Compare it with this illustration. Last edited by mercman from oz; 09-03-2021 at 05:15 AM. Reason: Spelling Mistake |

Here is a picture of an Australian 1941 Ford Deluxe Coupe Utility. The one that Griffin was going to buy may have been like this one? |

Australian 1940 Ford Deluxe Coupe Utility. Ford Australia only offered the Coupe Utes in Standard and Deluxe models in 1939 and 1940. All earlier models were only available as Standard models. What is unusual is that the 1941 Ford Coupe Utility had Ford Deluxe on the side of the Hood - (see previous picture of a 1941 Ford Deluxe Coupe Ute) |

Pair of 1940-1941 Open-Cab Pick-ups waiting to be rescued. The one on the right is a 1941 model. Without a Hood, I cannot tell the year of the one on the left. |

Hard to tell for sure from the photo but the one without the hood appears to be pre 1940. It looks like it has a one piece windshield. If you look closely it looks like you can see the joint on the windshield frame on the driver's side - Australia. passenger side - US where the frame is joined. But this is at best a scientific wild ass guess.

Open-Cab Pick-up - frontal view. Notice that the Wipers are mounted at the top of the Windscreen. |

Here is a Close up Shot of Open-Cab Ford Pick-Up. Notice that the opening Windshield Frame is still in place. What year is this one? |

Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
I would say that the truck without a hood is a '39. Crank-out windshield and reflector headlight in lieu of sealed beams. It would appear that both trucks are Marmon Harington
4x's.

Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
As I recall the '37-39 Ford trucks all share the same windshield (windscreen) in down under speak. I also noted the wiper post in the overhead right side, but forgot to mention it.
I have had a lot of experience with the '36-39 Ford trucks. I restored a '37 1/2 ton many years ago, parted out three of them in the process of gathering the best parts.

That is a very cool truck. I love the painted axle. Caterpillar yellow?
