The Ford E83W, also sold under the Fordson brand, was a 10 cwt (half ton) light commercial vehicle from Ford built at the Dagenham plant in the United Kingdom between 1938 and 1957. They were sold in Australia as the Ten-Ten.

It was aimed at the small haulage and support vehicle market. Vans are the most common today, along with builders' pickups, which were flatbeds. Many rusty vans have been cut down to make a wooden back pickup, flatbed in other words. The rarest by far are the steel back step-side pickups, with only 10 or 20 known to exist in the UK.

They were powered by the 1172 cc Ford sidevalve engine, with a commercial gearbox, and were heavily geared down in the rear axle, making them much slower than the saloons, but more torque worthy. They share very few other parts bar the engine with other Fords, which does make the spares a little harder to get hold of. The head lamps were shared with the E27N tractor, for which they were an optional extra only.
