Re: Australian 1940-1941 Ford Open Cab Pick-Ups
Thanks so much for this Merc! That is a thing of beauty! I like that high stance with that heavy MH gear. My contraption is kind of hard to get in and out of even though it sits maybe 4" lower. Toyota landcruisers were created to be 4x4 from the ground up and the leaf springs are placed under the axles instead of on top, I turned 68 today and I bet the average soldier driving that '42 was about 18-20 years old. Running boards should fix that some for me. I harvested some running board brackets off a parts truck over the weekend.
