This is a truck, if we can call it like that, that we are salvaging parts before it goes to the scrap.

apparently the motor is bigger than the one i have already, the transmission seems bigger and the t-case has no low/high.

The wheels looks like they are home made. never seen ones like that.

we will try to get as much as we can out of this before it goes mia.

there is also an interesting trailer near it...

we got out already t-case, shafts, handbrake set-up and few other misc. parts.
we realy wonder what thoses L shaped brakets are for, we got them out anyway, thay are painted flat green....

The wheels appear to be standard CMP 16" wheels as fitted to the 15cwt Fords and Chevs. The 15cwt CMPs also only had a single speed transfer.

The L shaped brackets appear to be fuel tank brackets, but are not CMP, perhaps something much later like M135??

To be sure we are talking about the same l shaped brackets, they are in the third photo of the group of 3?
If that's good, the brackets are the cormers for the top bows for the trailer.

Long time since we last chatted.....

Sure got yourself a lot of spare parts......

Best I can remember the truck form Alain was a Cgev cab 11 with a Frod cab 13 body ...... which makes for a very difficult fit.

Now on your recent recovery of parts...... look at that trailer wheel again.... measure it....... is it 13 inches or 16 inches.....

On the second set of pictures.... the middle of the first one..... you have a tranny piece with some water in it.... take some more pictures...... that could be a end cap piece difficult to find if it is all in one piece and not broken at the bolt holes.

Now am I right in saying you just want to drive it and have fun but not restore it at this time........

In that case..... the battery location...... since you truck was originally a cab 11 the battery would have been inside the cab mounted on those two bars bolted to the floor..... the whole battery box is missing. On most later cab 13 models the battery was mounted inside a sheet metal box bolted to the running board underneath the driver's side.

What else do you need to know......?

Hi everybody. This truck has leaf springs like the 3ton in the back, has a single speed transfer box and a drum parking brake at the back of the transmission. The wheels were made out of the centers of a CMP wheel welded to a civillian pick up split rim. the engine is a 235 or 261? somebody put a lot of work into making that locomotive.
