Yes, the XM708 had a Bendix Westinghouse (part # 379474) brake vacuum booster, Hydrovac kit.

The info on the Canadian trucks is very limited as compared to the US trucks.

M37CDN Cargo - 3071, This number includes 2339 M37's wo/w and 672 w/w. Also, some were converted to M42 command trucks but the exact number is not known.

M43CDN Ambulance - 409

M56CDN Cab & Chassis - 6

M152CDN Panel - 1038, The Canadian model differed from the US model in that it had 4 screened windows on each side and a single rear door.

The total Canadian truck number was 4524.

The serial numbers start at 91,400,001 and end with 91,404,524.

On the CDN trucks, I think RMS has most of them hidden in his yard somewhere and parts to build a few more...

A bunch of the M152 CDNs went from surplus in Ontario to SECO in Georgia years ago. I have seen pictures of them and some were posted on the old Big E forum years ago. I don't think any are left as SECO doesn't seem to do any M37 stuff anymore. It would be interesting to do a census of the CDNs and see how many are out there. I know some are in the hands of member here but a lot more are parked out back, somewhere. Canadian trucks were in service until into the mid/late '70s and many were used up by the time they were released.

I have 4 M37CDNs ....

wow those canadian numbers are low. I had thought the "close to 4500" was for m37s I did not know it included the other variants.

I cant believe more radio vans were made than ambulances.....wishing I never sold my m43

I think 8 m37s CDNs have been scraped to make my pile of parts and 6 complete m37s are stationed in the yard right now.......I missed out on a m152 last year....undoing the damage of a poorly executed 318 installation put me off but there is a guy down the road with one I keep asking for.....

from the stories Ive heard many CDN m37s are littering a ordnance testing facility and are still used for target practice to this day.

I passed up a compressor truck awhile back and haven't come across a decent one since.

I recall David Doyle's new Dodge books have a photo of an XM711 on display at Ft. Hood. I'd love to have one, as that's my favorite variant.

did i read that right?
only 1256 of my trucks made?
1965 m43b1 w.o.w.

This is the only M283 I've ever seen, looks like the bed is one storage door longer.
