Modified Conventional Pattern Trucks

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

The data for every Dagenham MofS vehicle to end 1942 was set out in a model listing with crude darwings, plus specs. that I have a Xerox of. It included the staff cars and all the small vans, cars, etc. There are some contracts mentioned by the way as well, including those for some CMPs, which were assembled by Dagenham to British order under British contracts. But that's another matter and not relevant here!

In addition to the Model 01, and 01A (Standard and Deluxe respectively) Dagenham also assembled to Ministry of Supply contract the Models W0A1 and W01A1 Staff Cars, which were Model 62 cars, modified with the 30 h.p. V-8 instead of the “meagre” 22 h.p., the first being equipped with 9 x 13 tyres, the latter 6.50 x 16 tyres.

The W0A2 was a Utility Car with a Station Wagon body with 9.00 x 13 tyres and the 30 h.p. engine again, and not the 22 h.p.

Thank you, David! Maybe I'll start another thread on that, with the data I have.

In the appendix of the O'Callaghan book, the G8T is listed as having been produced from September 1942 through May 1945, to the tune of 77,915. I wonder why the appendix figure is slightly at variance with the one given in the text (77,604).

I had forgotten to check this book first with regard to the G8T!

Hello.
Sorry for my poor English.
1.Chevrolet Holden model 1941.I believe this truck was assembled on the Canadian Chevrolet Maple Leaf 1543 chassis.
What was this car called in Australia? Did the springs strengthen under the army wheels? Have changes been made to hubs and brake drums?
2.Chevrolet 41-E22 model 1941 with 20mm Breda Model 35 anti-aircraft gun. Is this truck completely assembled in Canada? Marker lights over the headlights - is it a requirement of the Canadian or Australian army? 41-E22 is an Australian denotation?
3.Chevrolet Maple Leaf with the same marker lights on commercial wheels and left-hand drive.Is this Chevrolet Maple Leaf 1543?
