Thanks Grant! The way he said it was something like 'they came with dual wheels at the end of the war' - which was news to me...It might be a tipper I suppose - I'll see if I can get a look at it..

When i visited the Reynolds collection back in 99 in Alberta they had at least 6 CMP's farmerized but they had Duals on the back with compatible rims on the front. 2 and 4 wheel drive as i recall. i didn't take any pictures of those at the time as I was taking pictures of ones i wanted to buy. never did sell any to me.
Also on that thread on the spare tire carrier that CMP obviously had duals.

"a local farmer was telling me he has a Blitz - "a late model one fitted with dual wheels." Was this ever the case-"
Hello Warren, Here are a couple of dual wheeled Blitz's in military service. (I thought Cliff might have beaten me to it as they come from his archives.) Regards Rick

After the war.....
There were some dual wheels set up for civilian use that were fitted on the original CMP axles. Apparently the dual wheel fitted perfectly on the CMP axle spindle....... voila instant duallies.
To my knowledge none were original Canadian military conversion. Bob

Same as my 20CWT trailer, the spindals for the Budd wheels easily took the CMP drums and wheels.

I see! So is the stud pattern on a CMP compatible with a GMC or Studebaker. This might sound ridiculously naiive but I'd never thaought of it before...

Clarification.....
Not sure about the stud pattern.... the 8 bolt pattern of the CMP is rather unique.
When they installed duals on a CMP they installed the civilian brake drums, and the two civilian rims which fitted perfectly on the CMP axle spindle...... backing brake plate and brake linings were the same size as the CMP so everything worked fine. The typical civilian duals I have seen on CMPs are either 5 or 6 bolt pattern Budd wheels with 5 circular holes/opening cut out of the rim as seen on 1955 GM 3 to 5 ton trucks. Bob
