My new (to me) Deuce and a couple of deuce questions.

[Ed Storey]

The Canadian 2½ ton series of vehicles were based on US designs. In US service the M135 was pretty short-lived being replaced by the M35 Reo series. One distinguishing feature with the US M135s is that they were soft-top where as the M135CDN was a hard-top.

I believe some of the early trials vehicles used by Canada were of US manufacture and were used alongside the Canadian manufactured vehicles. I would be interested to know what the CFR was of the XM222.

I think the line vehicle you are talking about is the M207CDN Signal Line Maintenance Body and Equipment ECC 124902 of which only 18 were manufactured.
