Otto says he had never seen a military 1/2 ton before. I asked him if he had not seen one in your collection. He said he didn't think so. I then told him that the Canadians made a very similar truck during the same time period. I told him it was a T212 CWT 8 I believe. Same cab, right hand steer, longer engine, different wheel spindles and wheels and a different pick up bed. Say, have you ever owned one of those trucks? I have a collection of war era Newsweek and Saturday evening post mags in book bound versions and in one of these, it shows Arab folks opening up a crate which has a T-212 in it ready for them to put back together. Quite interesting.
