Default Chicken and Egg?

At the moment the informed opinion is that the Gun Tractor was the first 4 x 4 design, and that all others save for the F15 and the F15A were descended therefrom. I think that the F15 was a simultaneous development probably independent of the GT chassis. The F15A was an alternative, independent, solution to the changed requirements of the British War Office and who knows, it may even have been a GM of Canada responsibility? I am at the moment opined that the Oshawa designed the GT body and that they actually built the first body...although Gotfredson in WINDSOR down the road from Fords were among those who built the production bodies.

Does anyone have an offivial shot of the Chevrolet GT with body being lowered thereon, that was used in the GM of Canada Songbook etc.?
