CCW Carrier transporter

[Rob Beale]

There seem to be more in NZ than elsewhere.

The NZ Army had a fair number in WW2 and afterwards into the 1950's.

Many 6x6 were imported from the pacific after the war, and it seems many 6x4 were converted to 6x6 as they were of more use to farmers and contractors.

There are a few in captivity, and one nice one has a dog clutch on the rear drive shaft so as to reduce tyre wear when travelling on sealed roads.

Decks are a problem, as we don't have access to the fleets demobbed in NW Europe. I've seen some with cut down RL Bedford decks (which were once plentiful) and with the GMC side frames and a canopy fitted few notice the difference.
