German Ford truck in... Tunisia!

[NickG]

Ok Tintin, will think about it!

another picture, the left fender and left door are under the truck...

Does the fender still have the NOTEK bracket in place? I would try to buy it/secure it!

Amazing find that for sure should be saved.

Hello chaps,the interior of the truck looks like it was trimmed and painted
a blue colour,does this mean it is a Luftwaffe vehicle?

[Paul.B.]

Forgot to add that this vehicle is amazing considering the intact state of it
it appears 90% complete,i would think this is an extremely important historic
vehicle and should be saved at all costs.
very nice find.
Regards
Paul

Yep that a V3000S Ford Köln, I am restoring the French built version see picture below. The Germans built these trucks at the Cologne and SAF Poissey plants, after the Opel Blitz they were the most ubiquitous WW2 German truck. I am finding that parts are very easy to source as the vehicles were almost entirely made with standard Ford parts and the design, though German, was an adaptation of a Ford model. The engine is a "flathead" V8 this was produced from the early 30's up to the mid 50's and is the favoured engine of the Hot Rod community. there were some minor differences between the French and German built vehicles the most prominent being the cab which was slightly wider than the German version, though I have never found out why. they were also produced in 4WD and Mautier versions. The French version continued in production after the war as the Ford 198t

Anyone knows what happened to this Ford V3000 truck in these years? Would it have eventually been salvaged from that scrap yard?

A gravedigger… !?
