This Canberra Times report gives a more detailed description of the new trucks, which were Cab 12 Fords delivered fully assembled (Australia never received any Cab 12 Chevs, only Cab 13 Chevs a year later as CKD chassis). Evidently these new trucks made the same impression then as now: "distinctive rugged appearance".

Interestingly these reports all mention US involvement in the CMP program, can't imagine where that notion came from.
