Very nice. Thanks for sharing.
Do you know what that funky Chevy with the "BEAST" license plate is? Haven't seen that one before. _________________ Jim McKim

That Chevy looks like the canadian C8 HUP (13 cab), but I can't recall seeing one with the spare wheel mounted there (there would normally be a door in that position). There were also wireless (HUW) and ambulance (HUA) variants which looked similar.
Great photos!

Late war (early 1944 onwards) C8A HUP:

According to that site, production changed from "run-flat" tires to standard tires which meant a requirement to carry a spare (so, the addtion of a side-mounted spare wheel).

Its a nice looking HUP. I have a restored HUW, but the early modle which is a bit of a hassle as you dont have anywhere realy to carry a spare.
By the way a great set of photos... some very nice vehicles!
