Old trucks

Is that truck missing one wheel nut?

I am a bit short of trucks in my current scanning, so I'll keep topping up with photos from the Clunes 2013 HCVC rally.

130310Su Clunes (Vic.): HCVC rally, Ferguson Plarre Ford Thames (or Fordson) panel van. R Smith.
This model was built over 1938-57, and had the 10 hp 1172 cc sidevalve motor. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ford_E83W

Top one looks like an O-model Bedford, bottom one is a Ford (or Fordson in some markets) E83W

I had one of those Ford vans back in the early 60's. The passenger seat wasn't fixed to the floor. So every time I had a leggy girlfriend in the car, I would drop the clutch, the seat would tip backwards and legs would fly up to the roof. :-* Good fun
