Default The Bible says

Looking through Barts bible , it appears to be a Canadian CC60L/X2 with 2 speed diff . The bible says the tyres are 10.50 X 16. Looking at it from the side the tyres do appear to be 18" , but it's hard to tell . I may be wrong but I don't think 18" wheels were a British WD standard on softskins ... for some weird reason Australia adopted the bolt together split 18" size wheels for its AIF fleet .I don't know of any British built WD pattern 30 cwt or 3 tonner with 18" rims .. Does anyone know of any ?

GMH actually made quite a bit of stuff apart from vehicle bodywork. The basic truck mechanical components were of overseas manufacture . But they did make axle stubs , crown wheel and pinions etc. for various vehicles .The whole engine for the tiger moth trainer . The whole gray marine engine , including the engine block casting .
