Nice video with some great points about the different cab styles on CMPs. Canada made a huge contribution to the war effort with these vehicles and it is great to see them being preserved. Cheers!

I live in Bordon Hampshire, during WW2 this area was little Canada and this area had thousands of these trucks in the area and a big auction selling these off in 1946. Boy i wish i had one of these to drive around the area, such a good looking vehical and i bet interesting to drive.

During 1941, we had all types of CMPs going past our house, all day long as
there were two Canadian army bases, one each end of our village.
I think, that many of these soldiers were sadly lost on the terrible Dieppe raid.

A couple of differences between Ford and Chevrolet CMP trucks apart from the engines is the front wheel hubs, the lever arm shockabsorbers the little ventilation doors, the radiator grilles and the steering wheel.

I'm about to own one of these rigs, 1943 I believe, was an ambulance at the time. Has a double frame under it and a gm gas straight 6 and a 4 speed with no brakes hahaha. Will be very fun to restore im sure.

Id say the Chey emblem on the grill is pretty easy to tell.

I thought the M in CMP stood for Maple - as in Candian Maple Pattern. Greetings from Australia!

The 12 cab unit looks like the 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck to me.

Canada's overwhelming contribution to the war was the CMP vehicles. Tiny Canada produced more M.T. than the whole of the axis nations combined. Thank you Canada.
This video is too short however and not really informative. Come on guys, you have the vehicles - give us the full history.
