Thanks for the info....
Hi Colin
Stand corrected on the C15...... But I still do not understand the significance of NOT being on special issue to the RCASC...... ... who did it belong to then ????? it was assigned to a Canadian Regiment .... what would have been a "special issue" a unit..... ??? sent oversea.. Still puzzled...... Bob

Original markings on my Ford 3 ton CMP
Here are the original markings found on the doors of my Ford 3 ton cab 13 CMP.With some searching I finally found a tag on my steering box with a date 1-43 so I now know when it was built.We had discussed these markings on my door in the past but I would have to search back to see what was said.
Derk.

The top line, A 19 CASCTC is for A 19 Canadian Army Service Corps Training Centre, originally organized in 1938 as Permanent Force Training Centre 1. It was alloted the A 19 designation on February 15, 1941.

A-19 will be the designation for the Canadian Army Service Corp Training Center that the truck belonged to. L is for Lorry, and the remainder is the DND number assigned to the truck.
The date on the steering box is a casting date. It may have been a while before that casting made it onto the truck, so that may not be the best way to date the vehicle. It is also possible the steering box got changed out at some point. However, since your truck has the holes for the bumper reflectors, and does not have the FORD script on the cowl, that date is possible. Last edited by rob love; 12-06-13 at 13:55.

From the 1920s to approx 1942-43 the Canadian Army operated two parallel vehicle fleets. The first was managed by the Master General of Ordnance (MGO). These vehicles were issued to individual units/schools.
The second fleet was the RCASC fleet and consisted of vehicles operated solely by the Royal Canadian Army Service Corps. These included staff cars, base maintenance vehicles, buses, specialty vehicles such as ploughs (plows) but not vehicles unique to a Corps (Engineers, Ordnance, etc.), transport and supply vehicles and others. RCASC vehicles were operated by RCASC personnel. Clear as mud? Clive
