  Bjorn, I'm not sure there were any Deliveries in the States like yours. It would surely take two or three seats, which ours wouldn't have. I've
never seen one with side windows, let alone roll down windows! I like your European style turnsignals too!

Good luck and please post pictures of the finished truck?

  That's a great looking truck. The side windows and related modifications I'd guess were done either by Proctor-Keefe or the Shop of Seibert. James K. Wagner's book Ford Trucks Since 1905 has several pictured like it, but with different window treatment. Here are a couple links to sites with similar pictures.

While I don't have pictures of the front seats that would have been in the truck, I do have pics of the rear seats that Seibert installed when they did the Ranger Marmon Herrington conversions on the Bonus Built 1950 - 1952s. Hopefully there's a member out there with pics of the stock front seats. Stu

  I still havent got proper seats,but its ready for the road, and I decided to keep it in ambulance style as it was built for Swedish Air Force, and was in service for 5 years, before it was sold. I still have some paneling to inside, and interior work.
