The CMP FAT (Field Artillery Tractor), was a Canadian Military Pattern vehicle manufactured by Ford and Chevrolet. The FAT was an artillery tractor of the British and Commonwealth forces during World War II. Several models were produced by the two manufactures as CGT (Chevrolet Gun Tractor) and FGT (Ford Gun Tractor).
CMP stood for Canadian Military Pattern and was applied to a number of trucks, artillery tractors and utility vehicles built in Canada that combined British design requirements with North American automotive engineering.[1]
As with other FATs, the CMP was usually used to tow either the 25 poundergun-howitzer or the 17 pounderanti-tank gun. A power winch was located above the rear axle for manoeuvring the gun or unbogging the vehicle. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMP_FAT
