The jailbar Ford was 1942 on but unlike Keith I prefer the pre-Jailbar Fords. While Ford did have a 6 cylinder motor the flathead/sidevalve V8 predominated and I can only think of a few Ford models I have seen with the 6 cylinder fitted and they were low profile military models, not MCP vehicles but I believe a lot of MCP Fords with the 6 cylinder motor were supplied to Russia as Lend Lease.

Also CMP trucks are cab over variety built especially for the military whereas my truck is a civilian pattern with the engine out the front. What sort of percentage would there have been in the Australian Armed Forces of CMP cab overs compared to long nose civilian types like my truck?

Again as Keith said Modified Civilian Pattern (MCP) vehicles of all makes including your Chev would have been more numerous then the CMP's.
