C8 data plate

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Does this prove the point about the cabs and boards? I have often thought that Ford "had a go" at the concept of a 8-cwt 4 x 4 but for some reason not stated in writing that I found yet, GM of Canada took up the cudgel excepting the Indian order. I am guessing that:
1. Ford of India wanted chassis-cabs only for local bodies
2. Ford did not want the hassle of building complete HUPs ir may not have had the body-building facilities, and thus the capacity
3. The DND favoured GM of Canada, just as they did with the C60X over the F60H V-12 and proposed "F-60X".
