Pre war Trucks - Military During World War II, Ford of Canada produced some 335,000 vehicles for defence. Some were cars, station wagons and trucks similar to civilian models.

Ford built a large number of trucks known as CMP's (Canadian Military Pattern). Bodies conformed to a military design, but used Ford running gear. (General Motors also built CMP's, using Chevrolet power train.)

Pre war Trucks - Military Ford of Canada also produced military vehicles known as Universal Carriers.

Even after the war, Ford of Canada filled a large order of military Jeeps. Production took place in late 1951 through 1955. Built under license from Willys, they were known as M-38 Ford trucks. During 1952, a total of 2438 were made.

Pre war Trucks - Military In 1953 Willys-Overland was purchased by Kaiser. Also that year some styling changes were made. The new Jeeps looked a bit more rounded, and the model designation was changed to M-38-A1.

Of interest in those pre Auto Pact days was the fact that these postwar Canadian-made Jeep were shipped to the United States, for the American military forces.
