another window
this window frame is found on al chevs that were built in australia by holden, it's shorter between the glass and the rubber seal and is slightly rounded. Also the press studs for the canvas curtains are different to the ford.

aussie ford
this one is taken in a ford between the two seats of the back panel below the window. The bracing strap used by ford in australia is of a W shape different to what was used in Canada, also the holding bracket in the photo with a hole in it is used to hold the curtains in place but this one is missing the handle.

This one is a photo of the inside cabin back showing the type of bracing used by the Canadien CMPs.

headlights
The headlight on the left comes from a Chev and has 8 holes mounting it to the body. The one on the right comes from a Ford, it has only 4 holes mounting it to the body.

Chev rear window
Here in Australia the Chev cabins that were fitted with a canvas rear window (see picture), they were attached to the outside of the cabin, and had little tie down ropes to hold them closed on the inside of the cabin.
Ford on the other hand had their canvas attached to the inside of the cabin, with their hold down ropes attached outside and were tied to a bracket on the lower back corners of the cabin. |

Australian set
This is an Australian modified seat fitted to Blitzes in Australia, the back was widened and also laid back and I find them more comfortable to ride in.
We will take another photo showing the work done on the seatback to widen it. |

Lights are different too.
In Max's first photos (Chev front Shell and Ford [superior] front Shell) you will all notice that the Ford & Chev's use different headlight rings.
The Chev uses a single outer ring, whilst the Ford [superior] uses a double dimpled outer ring (its brass), the Ford one is common with pre war trucks, Whilst the chev one was carried over for many years... Later Ford Cab Shells have the CANADIAN script on them. KW will have a picture I am SURE. Or go to http:www.oldcmp.net You will see examples there! Ian

On Cliffs photo you will notice the side light is further in and on the Chev photo it is nearer the edge of the mudguard.
"Ford Canada" was stamped on later models. First models had nothing, second models had "Ford" only, the last ones had "Ford Canada". |

Are you sure ? GMH made brass windscreen frames for the local pattern 1941 Chev. MCP pattern trucks . They are hinged above the frame , the hinges mount on the forward edge of the cab roof . I have come across these frames , they are brass . The 1941 TJ Richards bodied dodge/plymouth military utes had the same thing , brass framed screens . Mike

Headlight ring not brass
I retract my statement about the headlight ring being brass, after Friday,,, trudging around in the bush, I noticed that the double dimpled headlight rings are steel. They are still only ford though.
It was a great day. Has anyone taken a photo of a "FORD" Only Script on the front of the cab. I have never seen one.... Ian

Thanks Rod. I have never seen that before. Are you sure its not a bit of photoshop magic??? Truly amazing! Are many WA trucks like this? A Perth Ford assembly trait? Nice to see! Ian

Ford script 1944
Hi Ian, No it's not something magic nor is it a Ford Perth thing. I think all Australian Ford CMPs were assembled in Geelong. My information is that all 1944 Ford CMPs had the FORD script, 1945 trucks had the FORD CANADA script.
Maybe some of our Canadian friends can clear up what dates the changes occurred. Regards Rod

There are even two distinct types of 'FORD CANADA' front shells. The latest ones had a detatchable upper bar just under the bonnet (hood) to facilitate engine removal, as on this F60L Mach-M1 I photographed at Camp Borden in Canada in 2001. (Link)

Here's another one
This was on a FGT No9 which I had photographed to show an innovative way to mount a large steering box onto an existing small steering box mounting.
