Good Question.
Hi Mike,
I haven' looked into what type of Tool kit the jeep would have had once it came into Canadian supply but I would imagine the jeeps would have come with all of it's original tool kit when transferred over to Canadian hands. As far as the American tool kit,I can't imagine what other tools the Canadian military would have added that the original tool kit supplied would have been lacking. I can see if an American tool was missing that it would have been restocked with a Canadian brand. I am sure other MLU members out there can answer this question better than I can. I basically searched for whatever tool was on the original layout diagram and am almost there. I have always liked to display the tool kit in front of my military vehicles when I put them on display. I am still working on my Ford Universal Carrier Mk 1 tool kit and a complete tool kit for my Ford 3 ton CMP ambulance yet. I think it takes longer to find all of the original tools for a vehicle longer than to restore it!
Let's see if anybody else can clarify what a Canadian tool kit consisted of?
Regards,Derk
