Did British Indian/Brit Army Far East
 

...use the 1 1/2 ton 4x4 Chevrolet G-4100 or G-7100 Series during WW2?
Thanks!

Not sure of the British but the Australians had the G-7100 1.5 ton 4X4 as a tipper mainly.

Some of the Dutch order was also diverted here at the beginning of WW2

G-4100s in Oz?
 

Thanks Cliff!
So, if the Dutch order was diverted in early 1942 might this have been G-4100s?
Cheers,

Not sure of that but I will check my records over the next few days for you.

Found this model code page. Not sure where I got it from but it may be of some help to you.

thanks Cliff!
 

I'll look into that list. Is it the Australian vehicles only or all Chevrolet types built?
Nuyt

it is the USA model codes for the 1.5 ton 4X4's built during WW2 .

First 'CMP for India
 

I am working on my draft text for my book and reminded myself that in 1937 Ford of Canada produced a 15-cwt G/S pilot truck, with right-hand drive for the Imperial India Army. These were to have WD-style wheels and hubs,. The India Army had requested Ford India and GM India to build 15-cwt. War Office trucks, with dual sourcing through the two Canadian subsidiaries in Bombay. It appears that GM India had also been requested to produce a 15-cwt G/S.
