Thankyou all.
High praise indeed!
I help maintain and drive this truck for my friend. (He has a Daimler Dingo scout car to convoy with).
Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) C8A built by Chevrolet in Canada for British Commonwealth armies. Very popular with NZ & Australian forces as well as the larger Ford-built F15 & F30. All shared the same cab on variations of chassis and axle configurations creating 8, 15 & 30 hundredweight capacities. Chevy 6-cyl 'Dipper' engine. Fords had the side-valve V8. All are Right-Hand Drive.
Regarded as possibly the ugliest truck ever built by Chevrolet...
This truck served with NZ Army in Japan as part of the BCOF -British & Commonwealth Occupational Force after WWII (aka 'J Force') and I'm honoured to drive her.
My own project is an M1009.
I presumed threads in this 'Test' section get deleted? Maybe Mods could move it to Member's Rides and I can post a couple more pics.
Regards to all,
John.
