The question
I agree, which way to go, the work carried out back in the late '40s was to high standard, the crane is a Ernest holmes twin boom, the weight plate, which is a GM Canada one, states the weight at 10,000lbs, this would seem uprated for C15A.
All of the running gear has been well maintained, and is still showing copius amounts of grease and oil, and all works as it should.
The cab is in extremely good condition with only surface rust, no welding needed!
I intend to get the engine running first, just to find out the condition of engine, drive train etc.
I am trying to find out the holes in the history, what we have so far is it has been in a barn for over 30 years, it originally came from a Renault dealer in Ghent Belgium. I am uncertain if the conversion was carried out by the garage, for the garage or was done and put up for sale, still searching on that.
It seems to be a 1944 build but haven't managed to get any more accuracy than that.
