How far must you go?
During the war, it was decided to see how much weight needed to be shed from a 15CWT CMP to equal the power to weight ratio of a Dodge.

Aaannnnddd!!!!
this does not take into consideration the Dodges superior ride comfort or the way it doesn't cut your thumbs off, when a front tyre hits a "terrain anomally". Altogether a fine piece of engineering.
I do wonder though, how the Americans managed to produce so many drivers, all the same size to fit the Dodge weapons carriers and Jeeps? (they have no seat adjustment) |
Windscreen stickers
You'll notice on the F15A above and, indeed this FGT a pair of stickers on the left windscreen. Presumably they were running in warnings.
Does anyone have a picture of them? They're a different shape from the Canadian ones. http://www.oldcmp.net/Images/fgt/lp8_new/34front.jpg http://www.oldcmp.net/Images/ford/fg...ndnew/new9.jpg |
