Default Right on last point..

..Richard! And Tony and thanks to Tony as well! It's post-war civilianised probably C60S by wheel size and [how many..500?] gallons tank? It's a #11 Cab so I am suggesting Canadian order. Anyone confirm please 4E1 Gasoline Tank body on the '3 ton 134" w.b. 4 x 4' ? It is most definitely not a 800 gallon tank which was fitted to 158" and 174" chassis!

I have a photo from the IWM of a # 11 Cab C15 with British tank body by Bilston of Wolverhampton. That's another example of specialist bodies on CMP chassis-cabs to Canadian order.

Incidentally I have a photo of a C15A which has been civilianised, and has had the rear prop shaft removed so that it is now front wheel drive. Does that make sense? Surely disconnecting the front axle would save on wear and tear etc. if a straight front axle was not available or able to be firred?
