Not sure of the British but the Australians had the G-7100 1.5 ton 4X4 as a tipper mainly.
Some of the Dutch order was also diverted here at the beginning of WW2 Cliff ![]() |

Thanks Cliff!
So, if the Dutch order was diverted in early 1942 might this have been G-4100s? Cheers, Nuyt |

I'll look into that list. Is it the Australian vehicles only or all Chevrolet types built?

I am working on my draft text for my book and reminded myself that in 1937 Ford of Canada produced a 15-cwt G/S pilot truck, with right-hand drive for the Imperial India Army. These were to have WD-style wheels and hubs,. The India Army had requested Ford India and GM India to build 15-cwt. War Office trucks, with dual sourcing through the two Canadian subsidiaries in Bombay. It appears that GM India had also been requested to produce a 15-cwt G/S.
