1940 Chev C15, Cab 11 restoration in Holland

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Jaap

Sounds like the same construction as the US slide in radio shelters made for US Duce and Half, same box used, borrowed acquired, lend lease, by Canadian and Australian Armys. Side frames are solid oak. While the roof as the same two curved angle iron braces with the rest of the roof bows being made up of 1 inch wide x 1/8 thick strips steam bent and glued.

I wondered as your roof looks so straight front to rear while most of the S56 get sort of swaybacked over the years.

Again great work.

Cheers Phil
