    Also the pictures are of poor quality and very hard to decipher it really is just the name :
    parisian ute
    2 doors, 4 windows.
    Inner dimensions from the seat to the tailgate : 1.325 m, height : 1.200 m, with : 1.300 m.
    tailgate width :1 m

    for the 4 doors 6 windows:
    Inner dimensions from the front seat to the tailgate : 1.500 m, height : 1.220 m, with : 1.340 m.
    tailgate width :1 m

    For the stake bed truck it says :
    Closed cab with dropsides stake bed on a (I think) 1200kg chassis

    For the trucks it says:
    Paris - tractor picks up your chassis at the Ford Asnières factory and lengthen your frame.
    The factory frame stays unmolested, uncut, undrilled.

    Pretty darn cool and the research also awesome as well...It certainly has a shop truck or tour vehicle potential about it. I just noticed 2 drs on the passenger side. I thought it was 2 front drs and the rear.

    That's what I thought when I bought it, I didn't think there was a rear seat either since I bought it sight unseen.

    Today I found out that the '29 front bumper I ordered for another car was mispackaged and I received a '30/'31 instead with the '29 clamps. Since I can't return it, I decided to mock it up to see what it looks like on the delivery.
    What do you guys think?

    While I was at it I installed the dropped headlight bar that I bought for my RPU that I won't be using because of the '32 grille and the '32 headlights I will maybe be using for the RPU.
    Since I had that Bentley fog light laying around for years I also mocked it up on the modified original Ford headlight bar for the heck of it.

    That's the goal, I have the engine, but gearbox and rear end are geared for the small engine. I can solve the rear end with a Matford rear end I have and I have a set of proper ring and pinion. But the box is a problem. Early Ford 3 speed or top loader are impossible to find, T5 are now very expensive, US versions are near impossible to find here. But SSangyong used them, are relatively easy to find and cheap but I don't know the gearing nor the bolt pattern.
    I don't want to work or invest on it yet, I have other cars to finish first.
