1970s? Ford

I saw this one last Saturday while chasing railway remains. I don't know the model, or the year. We had them in the army in 1972 (over 40 years ago), and the colour of this one could be ex Army. Does the frame on the front detonate land mines in advance of the truck?

140531Sa Navarre area (Vic.). Ford truck.

D series .... Think they were a D0811 or something like that

Thanks. As ever, when I post something where I have little knowledge, the experts soon give me a lot of knowledge.

Roderick. Looks to me as It's Just the Bullbar, has been folded forward to enable tilting the cab..

Rod, brings back memories.
I got my Heavy licence in the Army, with both these Fords old the old WW2 Studebakers.
Thanks for putting it up
cheers
