I think this is a variety of the WWII Ford GTB series due to cab forward (minimal running boards), raised rear bed, and the split axles. I'd guess the GTBS with added winch and custom bed. Open to other suggestions as well. Comments?

from the visible front end in the thumbnail id say its a Bedford OY 3 Ton GS.

How sure are you? If you're pretty sure, I'll list it as that.

on further inspection..its a WW2 Bedford 3 Ton QL..not the OY...from the body i would identify it as the Bedford QLD..the troop carrying variant of the QL..the thumbnail pic threw me..i originally thought it showed the flat front of an OY, but further scrutiny reveals a distinctive QL grille with the tubular "brush guard" in situ..100 % certain its a Bedford QL with the QLD dropside rear body.
just change OY to QL in the title.

phew!! nicknamed the "drooper" as the rear body was longer than the factory chassis, so the chassis had to be extended to cope with the extra length..when fully loaded, the truck would sit low at the back, hence droop..drooper, it would give the driver the impression he had power steering!

Its is a QLD general purpose truck but not the QLT with the extended rear body specifically for troop transport.

The QLT had twin chassis mounted fuel tanks, not seen here. The QLD had the single fuel tank and spare wheel mounted behind the cab on top of the chassis rails.
