Here's a picture of a rebodied CMP truck, I think it is a HUP. Sorry for the bad quality picture, it was printed in a newspaper as a mirror image.
It was used in the 1970s by a Dutch travel company called Baobab for overland trips into Africa.

Ortona
Canadian Army Newsreel - Battle of Ortona: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoxEmnlJ1Mw - a HUP appears with what looks like an assault boat on the roof (???) at the 13 second mark.

Hi Hanno,
I think that this one is a FORD. Why? Well the shape of the diff points to a Timken split diff not a banjo. The lifting flanges on the front axle also point towards a FORD. I don't think that Chevs had them, well not here in Australia anyway. Regards Rick. Quote:

You could be right about the diffs, but 1944-45 Chevs had lifting flanges just like late Fords. H.

HUP Hiding Behind Andy McNaughton
It looks like a HUP - see 1:12 of the video. Nice shots of some CMPs included, and some muttering about aircraft...
