...I didn't even get to say what you just said!
Are you sniffing around for another project. Saw a HUP go into a scrap squasher two weeks ago. Sad sad sight. Owner of the yard had sold the entire yard and land. Peter S |

Peter, I can only imagine the horror. This is the reason that the Hammond crew travels the wilds of Canada - to save CMPs from the worst of fates. Brings a tear to my eye...

I remember seeing something like this on a web site showing this type of conversion as standard, memory says Norway. Don't remember seeing a reason for the conversion but it might have been along the lines of making all special use vehicles look like standard cargo types to reduce their attractiveness as targets.
Cheers Phil

If they had converted the artillery towing role to heavier trucks with more ammunition storage capacity (as many countries did) they might have seen the opportunity to recycle a group of trucks that had remaining useful life...

Having a closer look at the picture above I can only conclude the person who restored it fabricated a cargo box, probably because that was easier to do than refabricating the FAT rear body which must have been missing like on many if not most FATs. H.

Hanno,
I think you are right - even the seem round the cab is shown on the Danish version and the rear tub too.

The photos of the Danish conversions seem to have bodies of two patterns, resembling cut down CCKW bodies or regular CMP 15 cwt bodies. I didn't see any with the rounded mudguards under the body tray seen here, except for the image that seems to be of the truck discussed here.

Indeed the Danish Army CGT conversion made use of a body patterned on the Amercian cargo body, possibly modified from surplus ones. ![]() Like I said, the CGT advertised above is fitted with fabricated a cargo box, probably because that was easier to do than refabricating the FAT rear body which must have been missing like on many if not most surviving FATs.
