Somewhat in the spirit of the 'in the background' thread I thought it might be fun to start one looking for pictures of cab 11/12 CMPs found in public archives, giving caption where available and source thus:

Yes, that's part of an interesting series of images the AWM holds. Wonder whether there are any old newsreels of the time.

We've seen this one before, but it's a good one. Some time ago I sent the library info on the vehicles and they partly amended their caption.

Title: Chevrolet and Canadian built Desert Blitz trucks with their drivers, ca. 1948
Location: Queensland
Date: ca. 1948
Creator: Unknown
Description: Vehicles left to right:3 ton Chevrolet truck 6 cylinder, imported chassis, local body, other 2 vehicles, Ford V8 truck ex Army early WWII pattern, with Canadian chassis and cab, 3 ton capacity, 4X4 model F60L.(may be 1945/6 since mil trucks have writing on windscreen as if just purchased, no number plates yet)
Is part of: The Garage: a photographic album of Queensland motoring. For further information http://www.slq.qld.gov.au/garage
The Garage contains approximately 500 images of vehicles used in Queensland Australia, covering the period from 1900 . The images are linked to an index of the State Library of Queensland's extensive collection of automotive repair manuals.
