Hi Ken,
Thanks for the response.I know Doug Weatherston has been trying to find out information on the first aid kit for the CMP but has had no luck tracking one down.He only has a picture of the kit list for the trucks with the first aid kit pictured in it.I was wondering where they would have stored the kit,but if you say the brackets are for the bag,that would explain where it was stored.I would think hooks on each side of the bag to attach it to the brackets or a bar running through the top of a canvas bag?Maybe somebody else has information they can add?A mystery yet to solve!

Hi Chris,
That is the first sun shade I have seen for a CMP.Out of all the one's here in Canada,I have not seen one,even on wrecks there is not a hint of anything ever mounted there.Does any other CMP scrounger out there know of a sun shade mounted on any trucks they have come across?Interesting!

Thanks all for the help!
Derk.

Here is a picture of the original sunvisor in my C15A during the tear down before painting, it is made of masonite.

Looks like the Aussie Fords were a more advanced creature, eh Max?

Default First Aid Kit, Pouch

Gents,
I believe this is the First Aid Pouch you are refering to and I have only ever seen two. These two pouchs both are in different states. NO dates,markings or other good info. I have not seen the contents of the kit itself. I am not a truck "guy" but when I see something that could be military I grab it for trade on MKII Carrier items..... Anyone???
Cheers,
Bruce

Default First Aid Bag/Tin

Bruce,
I think you are right as I just checked this 'kit' layout picture and around the top left hand corner you can see this very same bag as well as a tin straight under it with the words First Aid on it. Any chance of a few more pictures with the ruler layed out?

Default That's it!

Bruce,
Thanks for posting the pictures.I have been researching for that pouch and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning looking on the internet and finally found the kit layout picture Ausmick has posted.I have been in contact with the guy that hosted the picture on his website and asking for better pictures so I can make a copy of one but your pictures are an excellent quality to make a reproduction from unless I can find carrier items Bruce would be interested in.I will dig through the shed tomorrow and see what I can come up with!
Derk.

The sun visor was an Australian modification. The Australians also made the windscreens open to 90 degrees which was later adopted in Canada.
