Re: Cars & 4x4s of the Indian Army
In the post Independence era, the Indian defence forces continued to use the Chevrolet CMP 15 (Canadian Military Pattern) of the early 1940 s WW II vintage. Ford of Canada too due to the World War II emergency, manufactured very similar trucks for the British Commonwealth of nations. A longer chassis and a crane variant were also in vogue. The Chevrolet had a 3.5 L and the Ford had a 3.9 L engine respectively. These totally dominated the 4 X 4 fleets with the Ford and Willys GPW, WW II jeeps and the Dodge Power Wagon.
The Dodge Power Wagon WC- 51 with its 3.8 L flat head 6 cylinder engine as a pick-up and a personnel carrier of the WW II vintage were also popular in our forces.
