Good buy!
"1943 Chevrolet/GMC CMP 3 Ton Truck
Registration Number: OSV 546 Chassis Number: 3844422263 Engine Number: WR9968242 Believed to be a 3 ton CMP (Canadian Military Pattern) truck, little is known of the history of this vehicle, although it would appear that at some point in its working life it was fitted with a crane attachment. The letter 'L' at the start of the designation number on the door would indicate 'Lorry' or 3 ton (60 cwt) as would the 10.50 x 20 tyres. Three ton CMP trucks were built by both Ford and GM of Canada in 134 ins and 158 ins wheel base and formed the backbone of Commonwealth Military transport. Built in all body types including general cargo and special purpose trucks over 400,000 CMPs were built. Built to British Army standards all CMPs were right-hand drive and were extensively used as transport by the Australian, British, Canadian, Indian, and South African units in North Africa. No documentation was available at the time of inspection, although an HPI check on the registration shows it to have been registered OSV 546 in1984 and as such a new V5 registration document should be available upon written request to the DVLA. Estimate: £1,000-£1,200". However, the serial and engine numbers are not correct...3844422263 is for a C15A of course. WR9968242 must be WR 3,968,242. A C60S would be 38442 etc. If this is indeed a C60S then it must be serial # 3844222263..perhaps to S/M 6056 if it was a British order. Can anyone confirm whether it is indeed a C60S please? I am useless at identifying!! The engine # as amended would appear to be a late 1944 unit by the way. BECAUSE OF LATER COMMENTS I SUGGEST that it might be 3844322263, and Engine # WR39368242, and to British Contract S/M 6110. Wish I could buy but my wife would kill me!

Re: David
More to the point, who here is going to go after it? Make it a lot easier to identify if it were in some's yard, wouldn't it?

I wonder where the Ford Canada lots went? - Lot 351: A Canadian Ford 4 x 4 158.25ins WB parts list - £4 - Lot 352: A Canadian Ford 4 x 2 and 4 x 4 1940/1 parts list - £5 - Lot 535: Canadian Ford rolling chassis with engine. For spares or restoration - [no sale price listed] Hanno |

Proper body in a field....
I know a very nice original body (as the one on there is indeed not original) lying around in a field near here. I spoke to the owner once, and he intended to use it for the resto of his CMP he has (had?) in one of his barns. This was at least 3 years ago, and it is still there. The things people do to CMP´s ..........

CMPs for sale in England
It seems that I have too many toys in the shed and its about time I haed a bit of a tidy up. I have been saving this truck as a restoration prospect for some years, but to be honest I am just not going to get round to sorting it out. Other things keep coming a long and moving it down the list of priorities....So
Its a LATE 1942 Chevrolet C15 on a British SM contact number. It has been stored inside for many years and is very sound. I have over period of time collected lots of parts for it including a replacement 2H1 wood steel composite truck body in almost drop on and drive condition... where would you find one of those? Also included would be a spare front and rear axle, steering gear etc. On the down side, when it came to me it had previously been fitted with a perkins diesel. For this the previous owner had removed a cross member from the chassis. (but you can have a spare chassis too, either to build up on from scratch or use the missing crossmember. As for engines and transmissions, it currently doesnot have one fitted but purchaser can have a look at my scrap engine pile and pick some good bits.... Basically everything is there for a fairly straightforward restoration. I saved it because it was so straight. Rust to the bottom rear edge of the cab, but cowls etc are good.... See what you think. I am of course happy to answer questions. and drop me a line if you are interested. I am offering it here first before advertising it more widely.... The truck as pictured came fitted with a morris commercial body, this has since gone to pastures new. regards nick yorkshire England |

Re: C15 with REME conversion Bedford engine
Quote:
When the CMP range was in service with the British Army, it is unlikely that spares would have been that short that substituting a Bedford 28 hp was necessary. Having worked for many years within the REME workshop system, I feel from experience that this sort of thing was actually frowned upon as it causes problems for stores ordering later on. You have a truck broken down, requires a head gasket or distributor cap for example, vehicle details taken and the wrong part turns up. Not saying it was not done, but this sort of thing may have happened in some far flung place where stores supply was not good and they needed the vehicle back on the road. Richard |

The term used for this sort of thing in REME was "unofficial mods" In restorations anything like this would be done "in the interest of reliability" of course Richard |
