In principle, all built worldwide models were identical, but the German version differed by an undivided windshield. In Germany the truck and pickup were built by the Ford plant in Cologne from 1939 to 1942 as G917T , G987T , G997T and G987TG and here as Ford Wehrmacht truck known. The Schell plan did not consider Ford Cologne initially in procurement for the armed forces , as the work was not regarded as " pure German " . Until the declaration of war by Germany to the United States in early December 1941 Ford USA supplied nor parts of the range to Cologne. Among other things, therefore, the production of the models G987T , G917T and G987TG had to be set in the same year . From existing parts of the model G997T was produced with the 3.9 - liter eight-cylinder V8 gasoline engine with 95 hp until 1942. In addition, since the Wehrmacht was keen to reduce the colorful diversity of the type required for the Wehrmacht and truck industry , the production of this series in Germany and France was closed , while the production otherwise went worldwide .
