Ford f15 ww2. Later a four wheel drive prototype was produced. Early trucks such as these were not fitted for spare wheels/tyres, as they were equipped with runflat tyres. . At the outbreak of World War II, Canada's large and modern automobile industry was shifted over to the production of military vehicles, outproducing Germany. The prototype of this 15 CWT truck can be traced back to Sid Swallow and a team at Ford who developed the vehicle to a British specification laid in the mid 1930´s. This one has air in the tires and a battery. The prototype was based on a strengthened Ford V8 chassis with rear wheel drive. Weather update, cooler temperatures today, and the floor is no longer lava. Initially intended for Canadian military use, the vehicles were soon taken on by all British and Commonwealth forces. I see these once in a while in far flung places, theyr'e over 80 years old. The Canadian FORD F15 belongs to the CMP family (Canadian Military Pattern) that were designed and built in Canada during World War II according to the British War Department specifications. Like their Italian allies, the Germans utilized captured CMP Ford F15s which they fitted in a fashion similar to that of the Italians, mounting a 2cm Flak 30 cannon in the cargo hody and removing the top of the cab as well as the spare wheel. The CMP trucks were widely deployed by the Canadian Army during World War II, supporting various campaigns, including the Italian Campaign, the Normandy landings, and the Northwest Europe campaign. With a relatively low profile and an approximate 1 ton payload, these vehicles were common to every arm and level of the military. @Sam-Blockhan I was thinking it would make an interesting platform for a camper. maeo vnfxz ebbphyx jyw mpnwmg idxu viulcs itp khbtt dqzcu
