From what research I have done the stamped chassis number could be the original Ford number because of the BB18 at the beginning

I managed to find an original Ford wot8 manual that covers the wot6 on eBay, just waiting for it to arrive but from what I’ve seen so far your definitely right, extra grease will need to be ordered👍

Slightly confusing but it’s all a learning curve, I will investigate the gearbox number tomorrow and see what I can find Many thanks Seamus

Pete thank you very much for the info. house type body? GS/cargo? it had a Military rebuild in 1956, could that explain the difference chassis numbers, also does anyone know what the BB18 stands for and is there a register of some sort to find out a build date? It would appear there is very little information on these trucks or I’ve just been asking the wrong !! Thanks in advance for any information Seamus

Morning everyone thank you for all your replies, it did possibly come from the Kent/Essex direction, I originally saw it for sale in Romney Marsh, it then went to Bolton for a couple of months before I bought it, any pictures would be great. Can’t find a contract number but have located the chassis number, the truck has had an older restoration which now all needs work. found under the drivers seat detective Work required!! Stamped Chassis number doesn’t match the chassis plate.

Hi Richard any pictures would be greatly received, the truck is fairly complete, the main item missing is the engine cover, I have the hood bows, rear mud guards and a ton of rotten timber, I will carefully hunt for the chassis number later today. Truck being delivered!!

Hi Pete It’s very tempting to put a V8 back in but at the moment I will leave the diesel and concentrate on the welding, the cab is far worse than the picture shows, I’ve just started to strip it down so will post more pictures soon.

Hi Guys first time posting so please be gentle.. I’ve recently bought a Fordson WOT6 for restoration and wanted to find out a bit more information if possible and share pictures of the rebuild. ( could be a bit slow though!! ) I believe it’s a 1944 machinery body truck and was last on the show circuit in 1995, from what I can make out the previous owner removed the V8 and converted it to a Ford 4d but it appears it never got finished, does anyone remember the truck and can anyone let me know if the chassis number is stamped on the chassis and where it could be found? hopefully I have managed to attach some pictures below. Many thanks Seamus
