I found a C60L the other day but the owner is just using the chassis and he put a 6.2 litre GM diesel in it. I gave him $20 for the motor and trans he pulled out. It's a 261 Pontiac that isn't seized and it's hooked to the rhd bellhousing and military transmission. I needed the bellhousing for that C15A I hauled home this summer. I have a friend that's going to haul the cab home for me the next time he's headed this way. It's a 1944 with round gauges and no roof hatch. The data plates are on the dash but the pix I took didn't turn out except the one saying it's a GS version. I'll post a better pic of the data plate at a future date. That's quite the fifth wheel hookup a previous owner installed.

I hauled the 2C1 I bought at a farm auction home and set it on the 1944 C15A Van 2. It looks right at home there. That old picker truck sure comes in handy at times!
There's a few rust spots on the outside of the top rails but that's easily fixed and the rest is straight and complete. It was actually a rarer find than the running F15 at the same auction since it had a lot of issues.

Here's the data plate off the 2C1. I wonder if the 42 03 bit stands for the year and month. The box has a good endgate and latches which is unusual. The tail light brackets on both sides are still in place too.

That friend delivered the C60 cab today. By coincidence, the round gauges that are missing on the C15A are good on this one. There aren't a whole lot of parts that I need off it but the windshield frames are good and there's one seat. With the C8 using 5 seats and the HUP needing four, plus three or four others needing two each, my seat requirements sure add up. The C60 had a bottom spring setup and I have two others but they are all in questionable shape. I'll have to find a good source for the coil springs for them.

We had to go and "pick up" a 1947 CJ2A today. I know it's not military but the farmer just wanted to 'get rid of it' so the price was right. The motor's stuck but about all that's missing is the endgate and the radiator.

Most people might not see much value here but for those in the know it's a load of treasures! A farmer gave me the remains of this carrier and with it and my other one there's enough to put together a driveable one. Both of them are Mk IIs.
I've got to go back tomorrow and get an excellent 2H1 box for a 15 cwt.

Gotta love that picker truck!! It sure makes these jobs easy.
These tracks and road wheels aren't in near as good of condition as my first set, but for the price I sure can't complain!

I went and got the 2H1 today. The wood is a bit weathered but then it's all original too. It's made of square edge boards and doesn't use any joiner strips like the 2A1. The data plate reads:
25 - 43 2H1-840
