My great grandfather had a transport firm in Sydney (FW Johnston, now Johnston's Transport) early in the war most of his trucks were commandeered for the military, after the war you couldn't get a new truck for love nor money.
They ran the business for a number of years after the War by purchasing CMP kits still unassembled from war surplus sales. They were then reassembled, mostly without the front diff centres because they didn't need 4WD and to use as spares.
