Mike!!
Mike, hello. I'm moving from Melville to PA. I'll have to look you up when I get settled in. I'm tied up with two M37s but we can probably do some parades together etc.. Don't need another CMP for the collection. I'm looking for an acreage but the wife is looking for a house in town.
 See you soonEwen

Special 16 in rims....
What I have been able to observe and photograph has been ALL Australian contracts made in late Aug to Sept 1944...... they are all C60L with the small axles and 16 rims. a further oddity is that I have seen them made/dated a few weeks apart YET some have the old early civialin restangualr instrument cluster while others have the round dials...... done with left overs..???
Seen them in Sault Ste Marie, Belleville, I have one, one in Montreal, Grimsby, ect DAvid Hayward... God bless his soul.... would love to dealt with such oddities. It seems that they were all late war tiem production that may have been cancelled ands never sent downunder and eventually got liquidated locally in Eastern Canada.... pure speculation in my part.

If this is the truck I am thinking of, then a prospective buyer had best look it over before paying any real amount of money. I actually had a deal to buy it almost a decade ago, but backed out when ownership of the truck was suspect. Looks like that has been sorted, it was not the current vendor who I was dealing with, but rather a renter.
The guy had used a front end loader to move it around, and had bent the driveshaft and I can't recall if the frame took on some damage too. But the cab was in very good shape, having been an airforce truck it wouldn't have had much field time. Some thought that it was part of the radar convoy unit. I can't say myself, but there was some odd title on the dataplate.

Different set of shift levers
What caught my eye was the arrangement and placement of the shift levers. I don't think the shift knob with the OD is orginal. But does anybody have and idea what the shift lever between the transmission and the normal transfercase lever is? Is it simply a PTO shift on the transmission?

Hello Jim.
Wondered where that "Radar" CMP had gone to. Peter Ford and I had a look at it about 10 years ago in the Ft. Garry area of Winnipeg and it disappeared from that area a couple of years later when a new subdivision went in. The truck is one of an 8 vehicle Radar Caravan developed by Canada during WW2. Peter had researched the details of the caravan, but we were unable to confirm exactly what equipment this particular truck carried. It was clearly set up for a lot of electronic gear, as one could trace a series of electric blowers around the perimeter of the truck at approximately chair rail height and the center of the box roof held a large porcelin insulator, possibly a communication antenna mount. The specific Data Plates that identified the equipment setup for each truck in the caravan were made of a hard black 'plastic' designed to be broken easily if the vehicle had to be abandonned, and I believe Peter's research indicated each vehicle carried a demo charge as well. The plate was gone in this truck, but one could still see where it had mounted. This particular vehicle would have been mated up with another one in the caravan. The two vehicles would approach each other from the left side about eight feet apart and park opposite each other. The lower left side would drop to form a walkway, with the upper half forming a roof. A similar setup would take place with the second vehicle. A series of hooks around the outside perimeter of the opening on each truck allowed a canvas cover to be installed, thereby joining the two vehicles together with a weather resistant walkway. Peter's research on these Canadian Radar Caravans also indicated at least one of these caravans (personnel and all) had been requested to be seconded to the US Military to provide air protection for the Panama Canal during the war. This truck was part of a caravan that served at RCAF Station Winnipeg during or immediately after the war. The cab showed the original green wartime paint with Royal Canadian Air Force printed out in small caps, with the wartime reg'n number below it. In it's latter service years if got the newer Hazard Yellow paint job, the initials RCAF and a new numbering system. After demob, the other seven vehicles were sold off, but this one lingered at the base for a few more years as a 'smoke shack' before being sold. It disappeared onto civvie street for years until surfacing in Ft. Garry when Peter and I spotted it. The owner then wanted the running gear to build a mud truck, but probably ran out of time when the city expropriated the property for development. Hope this info helps. David

I won't comment on the price, but it certainly seems to be a very good and original example of the breed. As it came from the UK originally, it must be one of the unused & still crated Carriers which were disposed of to the public many decades ago. Hanno (no connection to the seller) Quote:

That second model Windsor carrier is listed in the key cards held at Bovington. The Bovington record shows the original WD number from 1945 service, plus the subsequent change in WD number to the post war format. The carrier remained in British service until sold by Ruddington in 1957. It was in the Belgian museum before being sold and shipped to the museum in Indiana, USA. The original paint is sitting under the current top coat.
Still has the original engine and data plate!
