Revised 1942 S/M Contracts Listing

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

The data plate off the Chevrolet is from a 1941 MODEL C-GT, and yes the 'XR' prefix to the engine number was placed in the trim section. Note the F.C. 102 paint...all others I have seen were F.C. 98 which was drab I think.

The Ford plate was a S/M 2508....this is on the Canadian list for FATs.

In Australian Army service, this truck wore the ARN (Army Registered Number) of 53050.

Hi David, That's one of my trucks you are quoting there but the Chassis Serial number should read 38048. All other numbers are correct.

Thanks Rod. Corrected.

The A/T portees in the Chevrolet line were either the S/M 2028 2-pdr trucks with # 42 Cab, of which some were later converted to 17-pdr tractors, or the short-lived C60L 6-pdr trucks with # 43 cab that were swiftly converted into weird looking G/S trucks. The 2-pdr chassis were based on the C-GT chassis and had the same model number.

I have got to write to Sandra Notarianni and see if she can give us details of all Ford model numbers.I used to have her e mail but it's not on my present PC.
