We never got the steel pickup bed here, so the one pictured is a factory Oz pickup. Lots of wood, simple panels, blacksmith made brackets for local content. They look surprisingly good tho.
1930 ones are a lot rarer than earlier ones and it seems to have been sold in 1932.
A 1930 car sold in 1932 is more than possible. No Model As were sent to Australia in 1931 and legend has it that the dealers revolted against Ford sending unordered cars in 1930. Even then, it was possible to buy a brand new 1930 model car (not only Ford) in 1933. The depression hit here very badly.
