Default Heavy duty utility personnel CMP truck

Here are 3 photos of a Chevrolet CMP used by an uncle of mine to go to my grandfather fishing camp (Arthur Verreault) circa 1947 in St-Adolphe, near Québec city. You see my sister and my mother. The CMP does not exist anymore.

Probably a 1943 Cab 13 C8A HUP (from following Cletrac post).

There's no spare tire behind the drivers door so it's a 43 model.

Nice photos! Do you have any idea if the truck is still at or near the camp? What eventually happened to the truck?
