Description
Merry Christmas...With demand for war-related vehicles easing toward the end of 1944, the War Production Board authorized Ford to resume production of a limited run of heavy-duty trucks for the civilian market. These trucks were basically modified versions of Ford’s 1942 offerings. In order to be able to buy one, purchasers had to prove their business was vital to the war effort.
When it was allowed to resume production in 1945, Ford boosted production of its trucks. Ford took this cue to boost production of its heavy-duty trucks, which were introduced in May of that year. Though they looked like Ford’s 1942 models, they were treated to a number of modifications, including an improved V-8 engine.
