The ubiquitous Canadian Military Pattern (CMP) vehicles.

[Woodsy]

CMP's were very common here as farm trucks, hunting wagons, etc. when they were sold off after the war, both Fords and Chevs. The Chevs stood the test of time better than the Ford V8's, but now they are only seen in restored condition at MV shows. For serious off-road use the short wheelbase Chevs were the preferred choice as they had good ground clearance and better fording ability than the Fords, and were not so prone to overheating. The V8 Fords were common in many NZ Forest Service depots as fire engines and water tankers up until the 1980's.
