Default Aussie CMPs

Drive trains all came from Canada so they are the same combinations ranging from 4X2 to 6X6 with a few odd 8cwt ones here too.

Main differences were we tended to build our own rear bodies, some quite similar to the Canadian ones and others uniquely Australian.

We also produced a local winch kit which was made by Ford Australia and was very similar to the Canadian one.

Chevrolet cabs were built entirely by Holden here, and Ford built the roofs and floors for theirs.

There were no permanent four wheel drive models.

Was the transfer gearbox setup for switching between two wheel or four wheel drive or were they permanent four wheel drive?

Were there any visual body differences? (rear vison side mirrors, etc).
