At the same time, a "Ford Product" badge was added to the bonnet sides, and I think that this is just visible. It might be reasonable to say that it's a Ford, therefore, also bearing in mind the date of the programme as earlier models are less likely to have survived. There were no other weights, it was a 10 cwt. However, Ford offered 2 types of standard body, the van, and a steel bodied pickup, and also sold chassis cab only upon which were constructed many body types, from Luton and Gown vans to dustcarts.
