Fair comment but the majority of the 4wd conversions used for heavy work were Ford based.
there were more conversions that just 4wds, what about all the leyland skids that ended up as JCBs, or the DBs used as tug tractors, you ever seen a ford based tug?
The benefit of the ford was parts interchangability, all the blocks were of the same pattern, 3, 4 or 6, you could just rip the old porous engine or shagged out selcto speed box, and replace it with a manual box, 6 pot engine and a 4wd schlinder or selene axle
