Thanks for the new pictures...makes it easier to understand.

From the pictures YES you do have a 2 speed transfer case.

And you have a separate lever that connects to the front of the transfer case to engine the 4 wheels.

Your truck has been modified over the years.

Again from the pictures you have the small C15a front axle and smaller brake drums.

You can use the original 16 inch rims or you can use the 20 inch rims..... both will fit.

The 16 inch rims will give you a smaller more power and will be slower.

The 20 inch rims and tires will give you a bit more speed but less pulling power and will be higher from the ground.

There were a lot of CMP trucks exported to South America at the end of the war in new condition also a lots of spare parts.

Over the years CMP truck parts have been found and sold to North American collectors and are still in great demand.

I would suggest you start visiting junk yards near smaller towns, old lumber yards, industrial mining junk yards as I am sure you will find old wrecks that will supply you with parts.....Check Argentina as well......

Wishing you well in your rstoration project...... keep sending us pictures of your work and keep asking questions.

Only too glad to help.
