hi Joe
OK that explains the British antenna bases. I bet there are UK No. 11 sets inside those trucks.
I was reading this on your web site:
"The 8-cwt was a lightweight 4x2 vehicle that didn't see much operational service"
The little Chev and Ford 8 cwt were widely used in North Africa and the Middle East. Photographs suggest that many 8 cwt vehicles served with British , Australian and NZ units. The enemy liked them as well.
