Used to be one of these ex-army MCP International K2 ? trucks up at Yea, Victoria, many years ago. The Yea K2 was unusual in that it still had the original wartime wooden GS body, very rotted, but still with all of the metal fittings in-situ. The K2 owner also had a cab 12 C8 CMP that I eventually bought. International-H (Aust.) also assembled the smaller military 15cwt K1 model, it was fitted with the same wooden framed military canvas topped cab. A coupe utility version of the K1 was also built, don't know if the army used these - a long time ago, I spotted a nice original K1 ute sitting in a paddock , a few days later it had been moved, it was now badly damaged , some hoons had used it as a paddock bomb, the front end was caved in. https://collections.museumsvictoria..../items/1469625
