CCW Carrier transporter

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I don't seem to have any British contract numbers for CCW-353 lorries. These are from my notes:

The 5-ton CCW-353 was a 1941 development of the CCKW-353 without the front-drive axle and transfer case partly emptied so that there was no front axle drive shaft and related components. First orders were in 1941 for the U.S.Q.M.C. for Defence Aid: DA-W-398-QM-62 for 2,000 trucks. QM-78 was for 2,100 trucks for British and/or Commonwealth forces in Middle and Far East, delivered 1942. QM-203 was for Lend-Lease [# 7001 to # 11440] during 1942; QM-11595 and W-398-ORD-2597 were for # 11705 to 26400 with bulk delivered 1942 and balance of 265 in January 1943.
