1994 Chevrolet C15 problems

The C15TA Armoured Truck, or formally "Truck 15cwt, Armoured" was an armoured load carrier produced by Canada during the Second World War. It was developed from the Otter Light Reconnaissance Car.

Development

The C15TA Armoured Truck was developed by General Motors Canada along a concept lines of the American M3 Scout Car. The vehicle used the chassis of the Chevrolet C15 Canadian Military Pattern truck design. Between 1943 and 1945 a total of 3,961 units were built in Oshawa, Ontario. Armoured hulls were supplied by the Hamilton Bridge Company.

In 1943 the Canadian Army policy was to use the 'CAPLAD' 3-ton armoured lorry then in development for their personnel and ammunition carrying needs for the invasion of France. At the time the British were using the White scout armoured car but production of that was ending. The CAPLAD was cancelled as not meeting requirements and it was decided to use the 15-cwt and American-built M14 half track trucks for personnel and ammunition carrying respectively. By January 1944, although 800 vehicles had been ordered there were delays to production due to strikes. As such the Canadian Army issued White Scouts in lieu of the C15TA. With further delays, the Canadian Army adopted the same proportions of White Scouts and M14s as the British and were supplied with sufficient of these via the UK to meet their needs. In May 1944, 21 C15TA s were issued to the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division.

The truck had a seating in the rear for eight, the large panniers on the outside over the rear wheels could hold the large haversacks of the troops (four either side) with internal baskets for smaller packs. The canvas tilt over the cab was supported on hoops. On the rear was a carrier for petrol, oil and water jerrycans.
