How much of the trcuk is left..... I seem to remember a rolling frame???? What size wheels/tires???? on the front axle underneath the engine and the same place on top of the rear axle should be a stamped gear ratio....clean the area carefully.... wipe with a stiff oily cloth.... should help highlight the stamping recessed in the cast iron..... (see picture)if it read 6 over 39 you have 15cwt axles if lower ratio you may have C30 axles.....but then the gear pumpkins may have been changed. The number of spring leaves you describe match my cab 11 15cwt 101" wheel base CMP.

Thank you very much for the info! I should have mentioned that my CMP is 2WD not 4WD. The truck is complete except for a box, although some previous owner welded running boards and rear fenders. The spare tyre carrier is below the pintle hook between the frame rails and the tires are 9:00 X 16:00 with sling hubs for hoisting aboard ships etc. It is painted desert sand over greyish blue over green. I'll try to read the stampings in the diff. to get the ratio. One thing, the cab has a sliding door to the rear that the previous owner said was original. I have no way of knowing.
You're right, half the fun is searching and researching, fortunately my truck runs great so I get the other half of the fun too! Ya'll be good! Derek Heuring
