Hi Matt,

Yes, there were two versions of the '41 Station Wagon manufactured in Canada for military use. The C11AS was a 'militarised' version of the standard civilian 7seater model, having the transverse springs and torque tube drive to rear axle with standard 6.00x16 inch road wheels. its Vehicle code being - SW424-C-7WAG-1. The 'Heavy' version, C11ADF, was a 5 seater built on the pick-up chassis with semi elliptical springs, prop shaft and heavier back axle/gearbox and fitted with 9.00x13 wheels. its Vehicle code being -SW424-C-5WAG -I know one of these survives, in Queensland I believe.
I should haver a folding map table behind the front bench seat although mine is missing, so something to be found or at least obtain drawings of.
