M 38 cdn
Brian,
For the 1951 start up production, Ford Canada certainly used all Willys parts, excepted nuts & bolts, which explains the frame serial number. Then in feb. 52, suppliers outside of Willys did shipped directly to Ford and Ford got wheels and tires from canadian suppliers. It is hard to believe that the canadian army had variations in the stamping procedure. From Robert Grieve published in the OMVA CMP Magazine Issue No. 13, May 1996: All the Jeeps were shipped from Windsor to Hagersville, ON for inspection prior to military service... All the vehicles also had a convoy light installed as a field modification, done upon receipt by the Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. (see post #1 above, item 4: Robert Grieve citation) Last edited by GJG; 18-03-16 at 01:56. Reason: 2016-03-17 reference to R. Grieve citation added
