You have found a very nice fairly complete Chevrolet 60 cwt.

Should have been equipped with a General Service cargo box.

Now that you have been bitten by the restoration there is no known cure but you may be able to reduce the pain by buying a second one for spare parts and another and another.......

Keep us informed of your progress with pictures as some of us can't read to well.
And do not be shy about asking questions....... forum members are always willing to help out.

Good luck.

Thanks Bob

There wil be a lot of questions in due time, my son and i have used the evening to Power Wash the hole vehicle, trying too get som old grease of the back.

I vould also like to find out the pedigree for this one, who order it where has it been.

I can see that it has been at the Norwegian Army, has had it some year after the war.

since then in private ownership.

Hi Werner

Great to see another CMP truck being restored. What wheelbase is it 134 or 158 inches? Can't quite tell from the photo, 134 would make it C60S and 158 would be C60L. Before you get your tape measure out quick eyeball check is C60S as a single drive shaft between the transfer case and rear axle while the C60L as two drive shafts with a bearing block in the middle.

Look forward to hearing and see more about your project.

Cheers Phil

Hello

it is a C60L, but some one has modifyed it and cut some of the back end of, i havent measuered it yet to see how much that is missing.

it has been standing still for about 15 years, but i manage to get the engine to turn, but are missing som parts to get it to run.
