Thanks everyone for the info. I'm sorry for my bad English. Some things I don't understand. Is the body type "store" designed to carry various spare parts? Is the body type "office" designed for staff workers and equipped with benches and tables?
If I'm not mistaken, then in the photo below is a truck with an "office" type body. Why is there something like a dent in the upper part of the radiator mask? Is there an additional (oil) cooler installed there? |

Hi
The truck is a 1939 model, behind the brush guard you can see the short or narrow upper grill panel. The long bullet shaped headlight bodies are another 1939 parts. The 1940 model has the wider grill panel and short stubby headlights. The front axle hubs don't look like Marmon Herrington hubs to me, but GM-H may have modified the M-H hubs to suit the GM pattern wheels. I am sure there were a small number of these unusual Maple Leaf 4x4's assembled, probably less than fifty.

I believe you are talking of the MLU member who has a current Kijiji ad for "two 1940s early Cab 11s, Ford CMPs".

It is interesting that in the GMH War Record book provided to employees in 1946, on pages 38-39 is a cross section of the 'over 200 body types' produced by GMH for the services. Many of the images are the same as the brochure above, but there are no 4x4 Maple Leaf MC types shown, and only three special purpose CMPs (GT No.8, T/A Portee, 6x6 breakdown No.4)
