CMP ID and Abbreviations?
Hi guys can anyone point me to an old post or thread maybe? or may like to start one with regards to all the different terminolgy used on CMP or even other vehicles eg GMC cckw.
Cab pattern 11,12,13?what are the obvious differences?,what,s a FAT,-HUP,-C60 etc seems CMP vehicles have a large number of shortened up terms ,it makes it difficult for me to follow what everything is when im reading all the restoration posts,occasionaly i see someone use the full description and have gleaned some insight from this ,but still seems to be plenty i dont know of.
LWB -SWB,LRDG etc are well known meanings and some are semi self explanatory like Dodge wc57 (weapons carrier) i presume.
Australia has its fair share of CMP stuff but most people know of them mostly as a Chev or Ford Blitz,or commonly known as a bren gun carrier rather than universal carrier (joe public) im referring to here.
An A to Z list would be good just for interests sake ,i realise this could turn in to a monumental task though unless it has already been done.
Cheers John
