Looking for any info. on a truck used by the Marines in the Pacific during WWII. Open cab 4x4, no doors and 2 divided small windshields, truck was built by FWD here in the states. Photos would help, because there are pieces missing. Thanks

Interesting to see an FWD used in the USA, must be quite rare. Take a look through the FWD gallery/thread, Trevor Pitman is the FWD man to contact for information

Hello everyone, David here from Georgia in the U.S. I have a 1940-1943 ?? FWD SU-COE that is a open cab 4x4 that was used by the U.S. Marines Corps in the pacific during WWII. My questions are, does anybody have any photos, manuals in reprint, factory information or links to helpful sites that could help put this ole girl back together. I need info on the open cab version, not the enclosed cab with doors. This model of truck was used in the film "GUADALCANAL DIARY" [1943] when restored the truck will be finished out like that truck to include bed bows and tarp. I will include in process photos later, but I am on somebody else's time frame for now. Thanks for the welcome to this site, I look forward to hearing from ya'll.

Thanks for the info. and the photo, either are hard to find. Do you know if this model of truck's bed was made out of wood or metal? Do you know of any source that has info. on the dimensions of the bed, spacing of the brackets and the size of the opening in the bed floor for access to the winch? Even though this truck has a bed already on it, we can not use it as a pattern because it is not the original to the truck. Any help?
Thanks again,
David
