Something called a Ford F500. No, me neither. Lucas headlights so I’m guessing from Ford UK.

They might have built them in the UK too, but I’m pretty sure that’s a standard US Ford truck cab. The 500 may have been a heavy duty variant.

Yes, I think the F-500 was the lightest of the heavy duty range from the early 1950s until sometime around 1977 or so, when it was dropped. Basically analogous to the current F-250 in the hierarchy , though the F-450 might be the closest in capability.
Don’t think they were ever built in the UK, they just have ordinary round sealed beam headlights, so someone just used Lucas brand ones the last time they were replaced.

Yep that’s the U.S. cab, on a heavier chassis, probably.
I’ve always found it odd that 50s-70s Dodge and Ford trucks in the U.K. are often completely unrelated to 50s-70s Dodge and Ford trucks seen in Canada.
