might want to check something out
the morris 15CWT C8 was produced for only afew months in 1944.
one batch had a standard wood GS body
mine has a steel body (later production)
then there was a airborne version (cross between a FAT and C8) that was used by the RA troops at arnherm. this version was converted by the army just for the 17lb gun. you can see a good photo of one in action if you can get your hands a copy of the short film shot by the dentest in oostebek durring the first day of the battle. the truck was a NEWER truck not a converted older putie
this truck was not ready for opperations durring D-Day and due to its problems was replaced by dodge trucks in the 6th abn div for the rhine crossing.
