Default Thesis on auto design

Been reading through the chapters. I can only find one sentence relating to the WW2 era Aust. military utes. No mention of the Ford Aust. army roadster truck cabs which I think would be unique to Aust. The wartime softskin info is very brief and probably needs a book devoted to this topic rather than trying to include it in the one document. No mention of Internation-HArvester making vehicle bodies either

In addition to CWO cabs Holden modified Pontiac and
Chevrolet sedans into army utes using both metal and timber utility beds.
