Hi all - my name is Andy I am based in England, I am a military re-enactor and am a collector of WW2 German vehicles. I own a 1944 VW Kubelwagen, a 1941 NSU Kettenkrad and have just aquired a 1943 Ford V3000s lorry. The Ford is Cologne built and surrendered in Linz in April 1945, its post war service was in a forestry and was bought by a British enthusiast in 1971 as a runner. It has spent the last 38 yrs in this guy's yard and though complete and in reasonable order the rear wooden body has rotted away. I will publish some pictures as soon as I can.

Andy

Hey Andy!

That is a cool story about the V3000. Not to many folks have something like that and I'm sure it will be interesting as you try and restore it. Hope you enjoy the site and can get help for your unique Ford.
