Not wishing to hijack the thread but the following two articles on early development of the Canadian 15cwt may be of interest.

Very nice. Not a lot of progress on this one. Higher priorities have developed, and seem to keep cropping up. I need to get it painted this summer so I can continue the work through the winter. I'll look at the clutch linkage tomorrow and see if it is original. There are two others...one at the Cdn War Museum, and the last one I think went to Arlon Bauer in Alberta. That still leave the potential of 45 more...who knows? A fellow from Saskatchewan dropped by last year and left a photo of his pilot Chevrolet. So even one or two of those survived. |

Got about a half dozen photos of the linkages. I'll shoot you a PM so I can get your email address to send them to. Rob |

“This is a left-hand drive Canadian Army Pilot Model 15 Cwt.1 4X2 truck manufactured by The Ford Motor Company of Canada in late 1939 or early 1940. There were only 50 of these trucks made by Ford and 51 manufactured by General Motors of Canada. Together they were the precursors of the Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) vehicles manufactured in large numbers by both companies during the Second World War. This truck was used by the Victoria Rifles of Canada. CWM 20190197-001”

Beautiful piece. Ours still sits unfinished.
I have learned of a 5th example in Alberta, but it is more of a parts source.....not much left of it. It was offered to the Shilo museum, but then covid happened and we have lost touch. |
