Build story
At the start of WWII the UK called upon Canada to produce vehicles for the War effort, these vehicles were know as the Canadian Military Pattern, built by Ford and Chevrolet.
My truck is a 1940 Ford, 11 Cab 8cwt. With the low Vin number being under 3000, its believed this was produced in May 1940. As well being a short production run with this cab model (8-10 months), it could be considered rare. As I have found the vehicle in Saskatchewan, its of great interest to find out the marking belong to a unit in Ontario almost half across the country.
