pix for book project...
dear Ford-Truck-Fans,
I'm a german Ford fan writing a book about the Ford Transit with all of his "grandfathers", that means I'd like to write a litte bit about TT, AA & BB as well as about FK, V3000 and the Transit family.
Because the most of them has been build in the US it is hardly possible to get pictures of trucks. Of course, in the internet there are many but because of the copyright I cannot use them in a book.
So I'd kindly ask you if it would be possible to get pictures from you (ancient or from today) with Ford trucks.
best regards and many thanks in advance,
Jürgen

When you say 'Transit' I think of a city bus. If you want pics of AA's I can help. This green one has factory stakebed and sides. It came from Elko Nevada and was owned by Puccinelli Grocery. I can't believe I sold it, but we had a bad recession in the housing sector a few years back. I have others too. The rusty one towing my pig roaster I have no real history on. It has a TT stakebed on it.

THEY ARE GREAT!!!! Many thanks. Sorry for the word "Transit", it is an europeen car, initiated by Ford USA "project redcap" to create a common van in the 60th. "common" means a cooperation between Ford of Britain and Ford Germany. This car will be the main theme into the book. But at our german market there isn't any book covering his "line of ancestors", too.
Thank you....
greets
Jürgen

Yes and No.
once upon a time....In 1949 the german engineers began to create a small one-ton-truck to close the gap between the private cars and the two-ton-truck FK2000. The Name was FK1000 and later "Taunus Transit".
The same time the Britains create a successor for their van "Ford Thames 400". Ford USA found that this parallel development makes no sense and ordered that both countries shall create ONE common van. Without success.
Both continued their developments and created their own models for their own market. Several years later, the US head tried it again and forced ONE truck to avoid the same procedure. Germany declined, Britain agreed and created a new one based on the american plans, only adapted for the europeen circumstances. The result was a car we call "Ford Transit". Meanwhile it has been build more than 7 millions times and it is still the most popular van.
