To Russia with Love!
I found a HUP photo at this Russian website:
http://news.mnogonado.net/content/ar...oj.htm?id=1205 A loose translation of the relevant text: Canada sent entirely insignificant quantities of these Chevrolet C8A vehicles, which were used, as a rule, in the artillery subdivisions as the tractors of heavy instruments. Even the Russians wanted more HUPs.

Here is an ex Greek Army HUP, which - after civilisation- heavily modified to cargo truck, resting in a crapyard. Early '90's. Unfortunately it's fate is unknown...

Good Question - what was the date of the change
Quote:
If you mean the wheel lifting flanges, yes, most of the datable 1945 HUPs and larger CMPs have the lifting flanges. But I don't remember the actual date of this change. The addition of the lifting flanges on rear axle, for the HUP, is not a big deal just means longer bolts. With larger CMPs the rear axle flange would be a little more difficult as the use studs and locking cones on each bolts, so adding the lift flanges would mean longer studs and some accommodation for the cones would have to be made between the lifting flange plate and the axle end. The front lifting flange requires the front brake drums be drilled for larger mounting studs. I've never check to see if the old stile nut cap and the lift flange type are inner changeable other that the bolt/stud size. Your question though prompts and interesting question than I'm going to post as a new thread in Soft Skin Forum. Cheers Phil

The most recent acquisition at the barn, a C15A, had the lifting rings. One thing of note was that on the rear axle there were the usual axle shafts held in place by the split and tapered cones. Outboard of the cones, the lifting rings are held in place by longer versions of the studs used on vehicles without the rings, however there are plugs within the lifting ring that have a flange outboard of the lifting ring and a barrel within the lifting ring slightly longer than the lifting ring is thick. These plugs are a loose, but not sloppy, fit in the lifting ring to ensure that the clamping force of the nut on the driveshaft flange studs is passed directly to the tapered cone washer and not absorbed by the lifting ring.
