This must be a Ford Type G 917T (4 cyl) or Ford Type G 997 (8 cyl), and with a body for the firebrigade, these bodys was often made by a local company. Note the wood-gas cooler on the back, if this is made by the firm Imbert, the whole truck can be made by Ford-werke AG in Köln. This firm also made Ford V3000s Lkw:s and Ford "maultier" during the whole war. Nick...

Thanks for the information nick. Did not get the time to study this truck to deeply, but the owner told me that the wood-gas system was operational! ;D

The extended cab is from a specialised coachbuilding compagny like the once still doing that today. Compagnies like Rosenbauer and Metz. They too would be able to build the woodgas compressor in it. Considering the long time befor that thing would be operational, it could hardly be called a smart sollution. Important services like the fire-department got fuel rations as long as was possible. Directly after the war they got as much fuel as they needed. The timeframe for this truck having such an eleborate cab on 1939 chassis and a device that was probably put in in the 1944-1945 period. Interresting is the military pattern tires on the rear and te civilian on the front wheels.

The Ford is the US model. Recognized by by the stripes on the side of the hood and cowl. The german version only had one thick stripe. The body is typical norwegian civilian body!

Hello, I am working on a Ford G987T in my workshop. The truck is from Sweden and it seems to be civilian. Maybe someone on this forum has got the same model. I need some information: How does the side panel fix to the fender? I believe, it should be by the marked nests: Thank you for any kind of information. Maybe I can also provide someyhing useful. veterantehnika.ee/galerii/ford-g987t-1939-2/

Hello Leevi, Here is a photo of the brackets that you are looking for. The recess in the vent pieces are for the rivets that holds the brackets onto the inner guard section. I hope this was helpful. Regards, Jason
