Hi Stovblt
I think in the USA, Chevrolets contribution to the war effort is overshadowed by GMC CCKW 353, but in the Commonwealth and the countries that served with the British (Poland and CZ eg.) it seems there is a growing appreciation for the CMP vehicles.
Mine is second iteration of the cabs, and one of in total 22,891 (of all 3 cab iteration) gun tractors produced by Chevrolet and Ford.
The origins of the CMP where vehicles built to fulfill British military requirements, its fitted with the 216" engine, 4 speed transmission, with a two speed transfer box, and a power take off for the winch ( which is based on a Ford axle)
