► Photothread: German and Beute Ford vehicles
Hi Bill.
thanks a lot for the interesting pics You posted the last time. I have some doubts about the first Ford BB truck. Could it be an old Opel Blitz truck?
And I´m not sure with the Ford / GAS AA truck with the interesting body. I´m missing the typical twopiece bumper of GAS AA vehicles.
Regards
Bert

Hi Bert:
Sorry, you are absolutely correct on the Blitz, I mislabeled the photo and did not check what I posted carefully. As to the other question, you may be correct, it was sent to me identified as a Gaz/Ford but could well be a Ford/Ford. Some of the other photos with it were taken on the Eastern Front
I will try to post some more photos tonight when I get back to my house.

Hi Bill,
a few days ago You posted a pic of a Ford / GAS truck with the interesting body: Now I´ve found the needed information to this truck, posted by Milan Szekelyhidi on 02 September 2004 under the thread "Captured vehicles pics needed":
A war correspondents truck passe the pontoon bridge at Dombrad – Cigand. The truck was originaly a Russian GAZ AA reconstructed with Hungarian superstructure. (Photo from Modell és Makett extra magazine) Milan
So I was wrong and You was right. Congratulations!

Hi Bert:
OK that maybe solves that one. Now, please go the the "Vehicle Identity Requests" portion of this of the forum and look at my latest.
I posted two photos of vehicles I identified as possible Gaz AA trucks but now I am thinking they are maybe a mix of Ford AA and Ford BB vehicles and I am a bit lost as to where they came from.
The single vehicle photo certainly seems to look a bit more like a BB and the multiple vehicle photo, of poor quality I admit, may contain a mix of the two.
Sometimes, I feel I have too many books and too many reference photos but I do not recall seeing this exact cab configuration before.
