Trailer - Canadian - 10 Cwt - WWII

[Colin Macgregor Stevens]

Vince Hands, a military vehicle collector in Maple Ridge, BC, recently acquired a tired Canadian built WWII 10 Cwt trailer, the model with the steel body. Sadly, the data plate is missing.

He would like to get in touch with owners of other examples of these rare trailers.

Was the serial number recorded anywhere else on the vehicle?

What did the serial number look like?

What years were this model produced?

On a similar trailer found out here in BC, I am told that the data plate appears to be marked: 2-10-P-GS-2-210
The viewer thought it was P-C5 in the middle but the DESIGN RECORD page on my web site says P-GS I believe the first "10" would refer to the weight (10 Cwt = 1/2 Ton cargo capacity). One of the "2" numbers, likely the one after P-GS, would refer to it being the second model. The first version had a composite wooden body. The 210 MAY be the actual serial number in this case.


All of my reference books are packed away due to a recent move - from Pitt Meadows to Burnaby, BC.
