In earlier threads we discussed the use of the
FC60L. This was a Modified Conventional Pattern 3-ton 4x2 GS truck with 158in wheelbase and 95-hp V8 engine and a two-speed rear axle. It had typical MCP features like right-hand drive, 10.50-16 tyres on British split rims and a Canadian-built cargo body. This type was widely used in North Africa.
Interestingly, the
WW2 Photo Diary - Heavy Equipment features a picture of a US-built Ford 2G8T 1½ Ton Cargo Truck in service with the 2nd Royal Gloucestershire Hussars and/or 4th Queens Own Hussars in North Africa.
Who has seen more of these Ford 2G8T's in Commonwealth service?
Thanks,
Hanno
