Default 101"

Yes, the Ford 101" wheelbase was the basis I gather for all the 101" w.b. CMPs, including Chevrolets, as that vital COE/forward control arrangement was the key to providing the cab-foreard arrangement to conform with British WD Spec. 36. The 8-cwt chassis though may have been based thereon but used standard 3/4-ton components.

In 1938 there was no Canadian Ford COE Ford so they had to bring over a Dearborn-built chassis to create the Ford-Scammell FAT. The rest is history!
