Was this truck used by US forces as well as Australian? Is it "Australian" only because of it's markings? It also has an Australian emblem on the radiator grill, but the kit comes with an alternate plain grill.

Want to make one with US markings but can't find Google pics of this truck in US army.

Steering wheel is on the right side, not the left as U.S. vehicles would be so I doubt is would be used by U.S. forces. Well that's my opinion anyway.

Kitbash or use this kit as template to rearrange to left side steering.

or wait and hope that ICM releses a left hand drive version

Not as simple, as you think! I've made both, and they have different steering columns, steering box, and steering arms ( on the appropriate side ). The floor pan, pedals etc are also different. Having said that, they are both really nice models

I'm no expert, but I guess this vehicle was specific to the Australian and British Armies (The British purchased about 19,000 Ford T's during the war). Just Google "Ford T Light Patrol Car" or "Ford T Light Car Patrol" and you'll find many period pics like these :

RPM used to release left hand drive Ford Model T Supply Truck (35016).



And I found an interesting forum review of this kid.

maybe do some help.

Ummm, that image actually shows a right hand drive Ford T

A motor vehicle intended for driving on the right side of the road has the steering on the left side of the vehicle. This is left hand drive.
A vehicle which drives on the left side, i.e. not the right side, has the steering on the right side, this is right hand drive.

The term left/right hand drive refers to which side the driver sits, not which side of the road the vehicle is supposed to be driven on.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-_and_right-hand_traffic

"In RHT jurisdictions, vehicles are configured with LHD, with the driver sitting on the left side. In LHT jurisdictions, the reverse is true. The driver's side, the side closest to the centre of the road, is sometimes called the offside, while the passenger side, the side closest to the side of the road, is sometimes called the nearside.[46]

Historically there was less consistency in the relationship of the position of the driver to the handedness of traffic. Most American cars produced before 1910 were RHD.[7] In 1908 Henry Ford standardised the Model T as LHD in RHT America,[7] arguing that with RHD and RHT, the passenger was obliged to "get out on the street side and walk around the car" and that with steering from the left, the driver "is able to see even the wheels of the other car and easily avoids danger."[47] By 1915 other manufacturers followed Ford's lead, due to the popularity of the Model T.[7]"

Doh!! I forgot about the right-hand steering! I'll just buy the ambulance and scratch-build a new cargo body.

British Ford T's were assembled and modified for the British market at the Trafford Park plant in Manchester :
