Is it possible that a release years ago of one of the Loyd photos Clive has rediscovered could have been the starting point for the original rumour?

Yes, that is a likely scenario.

I think I have solved the riddle of where the rear fenders on my C15 came from. They appear identical to the fenders on the truck in jpeg #5. One more riddle solved!

They appear identical, but what is the chance fenders off the first production type body ended up on your truck?

I have variously been told that no CMPs were manufactured as LHD and that a few did indeed leave the factory LHD.

That is correct, no CMPs were manufactured as LHD. Ford and Chevrolet both built other types of vehicles for homeland use which had LHD.

Both Bart V and Fred Crismon had some real horror stories of entire rooms of archives of the type that we seek as the Holy Grail being dumped into the trash tips by many companies and governmental organizations over the years.

And what happened to their own archives? I fear more horror stories...

Let us do our utmost best to gather and distrubute whatever is left!
