Australian CMP's
Were there any visual or drive-train differences between standard 4 x 4 CMP and the versions that were imported into Australia and had bodies constructed locally?
Were they fitted with winches? Was the transfer gearbox setup for switching between two wheel or four wheel drive or were they permanent four wheel drive? Were there any visual body differences? (rear vison side mirrors, etc).

Drive trains all came from Canada so they are the same combinations ranging from 4X2 to 6X6 with a few odd 8cwt ones here too.
Main differences were we tended to build our own rear bodies, some quite similar to the Canadian ones and others uniquely Australian. We also produced a local winch kit which was made by Ford Australia and was very similar to the Canadian one. Chevrolet cabs were built entirely by Holden here, and Ford built the roofs and floors for theirs. There were no permanent four wheel drive models. Quote:

Don't the Holden cabs differ slightly from those from Oshawa?

Holden cabs
Quite a bit - and we've covered this elsewhere in the forum, but briefly:
Flat steel floor, rectangular vents, different hatch, windscreen frames, method of keeping them closed, among other things a little brass Holden badge on the engine cover. Quote:

hey Keith, are you suggesting the Holden cabs were more superior than Ford?

Stirrer! Try to find good Chev windscreen frames in Australia!

Overflow tank
That's a feature of early Chev cab 13s. The later Chevs had them mounted under the passenger's feet. Ford mounted them behind the horn bracket on the front left chassis rail.
