Default Manuals..

Keith..
I have scanned the odd manual in my day and found the Canadian manuals lacking info..especially the CMP parts manuals..
The maintenance manuals were good but one really has to have the service bulletins that came out between printings of the MB C1 and the final printing of the MB C2 in September of '43..The service bulletins gave all the modifications and additions that occurred after the printing and were done in the field.

The MB F1 Ford maintenance manual was the only Ford Shop maintenance manual printed as far as I know and I know the Ford Service bulletins exist but have never seen them.

The Chev service bulletins came out in '42 and another whack in '43..

The American vehicle manuals were broken down in a manual for every part of the vehicle and where Canadian manuals may have one parts one service manual the US had twenty manuals..but I guess the powers that made the Canadian manuals figured it would be Canadian farm boys fixing these trucks eventually and they didn't need manuals anyway..
They could fix anything..
Just the way I see it anyway,,.
