Hot Rods a Question 4 our Autrailian Friends ??

I'm looking for info, pictures on what I'm guessing were 1-Ton (tonne) Ford Trucks used down under late 30's 40's body style. Please see attached. Check out this COOOOL Bed side !!!

 

They're called Utes. Repops are made and available in the US, search ausieute iirc. Calvin (an Ausie) was working out of Orange Ca, but its been a while now so things might have changed.

the car pictured is a pick up truck
a ute (utility) has the cab and rear body as a unit not split

 

Search "coupe utes" for the unibodied style 30's and 40's utes.
we also had a unique to Australia pickup tub for our '48-53/54 pickups also.

 

It most definitely is a separate box (what we call them).
I guess Down-Under you call them "Tubs" on what looks like a version of our Post-War" Jail Bar" Truck look ??
thnx keep diggin' up infoooo

 

AND they are damned good looking. Something the US never perfected with El Caminos and Rancheros.
