Historical information

The Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) truck was a class of military truck — of various forms — made in large numbers in Canada during World War II to British Army specifications for use in the armies of the British Commonwealth allies. Standard designs were drawn up just before the beginning of the war.

Most CMP trucks were manufactured by the Chevrolet division of General Motors of Canada Ltd and by the Ford Motor Company of Canada.

CMP C15A was one of most popular light truck of Commonwealth during WW2.

The Ford and Chevrolet trucks shared a standard cab design, which evolved over the years of production. The first (designed at Ford by Sid Swallow), second and third cab designs were called №11, 12 and 13, respectively.

The first two type were similar, the main difference being a two-part radiator grille in №12 cab (its upper part was opened with a bonnet, which was known as the "Alligator cab"). The final №13 cab, an entirely Canadian design made from late 1941 until the end of the war, had the two flat panes of the windscreen angled slightly downward to minimize the glare from the sun and to avoid causing strong reflections that would be observable from aircraft.
