Ford V3000s
I have aquired this Ford V3000s and have started its restoration. It is quite clearly a Poissy built Ford not a Cologne one, this I know because the engine cowling is set in from the cab the Cologne models were flush, also the instruments are in French . However I know that Poissy ceased assembly of the 3000 in late 42 when they experienced sabotage problems, parts were then shipped to Cologne for assembly. Or so I thought - on close inspection of the typenschild it shows the maker to be Stihl - Stuttgart!! Stihl, during the war were and indeed still are, makers of chain saw's, but until close examination of the typenschild I had no idea that they were involved in truck assembly. I have scoured the net for information and have also contacted Stihl for any information they might have. Has anyone come across anything related to Stihl and Ford truck production??

Re: Ford V3000s
I'm just wondering what's the going rate for a Poissy V3000S is at the moment. There is one in Poland - cab is partially modified but the rest looks rather original. I'm looking for an advice - asking price is about £2500 - what you think? It might be early war or post war - but how to find it out. Instruments are french. See the picture of the data tag.

Re: Ford V3000s
One more thing - have you seen any period pictures of the V3000S with a Poissy cab?

Re: Ford V3000s
In June 1940 Poissy management passed to the Germans and began to produce trucks of 3 to 3.5T capacity and received the prefix "F" for France. The German code for the V3000s was G- Germany, 1-1941 9-3.9L V8, 8-wheelbase, T-truck. It seems to follow that a similar model produced in France would carry the same US Ford coding with the prefix F. Your Typenschild reads F798T which means F= France, 7=1947, 9=V8, 8=wheelbase, T=Truck. So you definatly have a 1947 Poissy built machine. £2500 is about right for a post war example, I paid £4000 for mine which is a 1943 model.
I have some origional picture somwhere, will try to put them up.
