Bob,

Don't know if you keep magazines...but checkout MVCSSA's "Olive Drab" magazine February 2002 ( Volume 1 Number 7 )

On page 8 is an article on these exact vehicles written by Mike Cecil. He mentions that it is a C60S, and a 218T Ford and that they also converted a K6 International.

"At least three two wheel drive "lorries" were converted to half-track configuration. These were a 1940 Chevrolet, an International K6, and a 1942 Ford Model 218T. Both the Ford and International were converted to half-track using locally manufactured Machine Gun Carrier bogies and steel tracks, while the Chevrolet used a combination of Machine Gun Carrier steel tracks and a suspension unit similar to the Marmon Herrington 2-man "Hercules" light tank."

On skimming this article again Bob, you really need to read it. If you don't have it anymore I will try to bring a copy when I see you.
