Hi Chris,

The truck is a Chevrolet C15 4x2 15-cwt with the Cab 11. It was the first type of CMP 15-cwt truck (built by both Chevrolet and Ford). It sports a CZ census number which means it was used overseas. I guess it was photographed early on during the war while Canadian troops were training in the UK.

Below is a Time Life picture of the same type of truck, but built by Ford, making it an F15. As you can see the external differences are minimal. This one was pictured in the UK in 1941.

HTH,
Hanno
