That's a damn good guess. In the event you're close, I'm going to guess Ford GPW and steal this one from you.

Doesn't match the GPW... from what pics I could find anyways. I say either Willys or Bantam because Ford built them in their factories because neither had the required production capacity.

Yeah, Ford was brought in to build more of them... and they called them GPWs. :tounge: The GPW and Willys MB are almost indistinguishable.

I have a feeling this is younger than that though, I don't think Ford used that "FoMoCo" branding until later. '60s maybe?

Yeah... so, um...  ok. It is actually a 1980s model Manitou rough terrain forklift that is powered by a 3-cyl Ford diesel engine. It looks a bit like this:

Goddamn it. That was my next guess.

I didñ't mean to take that away from you. I tell you what, you can go ahead and start the next one.
