Now Howard, Keith and Cliff is the information on the above internet site actually accurate? There seems to be a lot of conflicting stuff in CMP land.

Colins site is accurate but remember it is for CANADIAN made vehicles not AUSTRALIAN Assembled one's

you have just as much confusion between different countries vehicles with CMP's as you do with the MCP type vehicles if not more but apart from cab differences (the Aussie assembled 13 cabs, both Chev & Ford had differences to the Canadian production ones) and rear bodies the mechanicals and chassis were mainly the same. Almost all the 11/12 cab models were fully Canadian made and only the 13 cab models had local content to my knowledge but Keith & others will probably prove me wrong.

So how about this for a rule of thumb ....headlights which are bolted to the cowl = that M-face word and integrated headlights are the later models.

alter to read "seperate headlights mounted on the mudguards = the early cab 11/12 (monkey face) and intergrated headlights are the later cab 13.

A flying CMP is a great photo Cliff - bet you they regretted it when they landed!

this photo would have been taken while the vehicles were being tested at the factory I would think.
