David,
Oops! Didn't read your post like I should have! Will probably go with 3" letters/numbers. Do you know where the F8 with the number 4204797 was used during the war, Canada or Great Britain or somewhere else? Regards, Jim |

I am willing to be shot down in flames on this one. But I have picked up from various books and pics over the years that: apart from service in Canada itself and the U.K., many C8 and F8's ended up in the Nth Africa/Middle East theatre - where they were definately used by British, New Zealand and Australian units and probably other nations ..even the opposing enemy ! I wonder if some of the 8 cwts were shipped directly from Canada to Nth Africa. From memory, this was the case with the light stone finished Dodge D8A's, so maybe the same thing occured with C8 and F8. Mike

Jim,
F8 CZ4204797 was most likely pictured in the UK. As noted earlier: Quote:
As Mike says, they were used in action in the North African and Middle East theatres of operation. Attached goes a picture of an F8 captured by the German Afrika Korps and put to good use. beute%20dak%20truck%2002.jpg
