Max, here's a start. Mike Cecil wrote in Antipodean Ford CMPs:
Quote:
Ford: all chassis, mechanicals, cab floor/lower cab frame, upper (windscreen) cab frame, doors, windscreen frames, front shell, wheels. Rest manufactured locally in Aust: cab floor, engine cover, cab back, roof, guards, spare wheel carrier & tool box, body. Mods also placed to satisfy Aust Army requirements, such as windscreen opening device on centre column of upper cab frame, and lengthened windscreen opening brackets.

Chev: all chassis and mechanicals, wheels. Rest manufactured locally: complete cabs, complete bodies, spare tyre rack and tool box.
