Great video and story, I've been restoring, driving and enjoying CMPs aka Canadian Military Pattern aka Blitzes for 40 years great series of vehicles. If you follow along on their history you will learn a lot about Canadian and Australian and Commonwealth Nations roles in the Second World War. Cheers Phil

The Fords we had used split diffs, and ours were V8, the backplate on a Chev diff could be removed for
