C15A Restoration

[John Stokes]

Hi All, I am now chasing a set of tower linkages suited for winch set up.If you have a set lying around let me know it will save me making them and a day or two work.I would like an original petrol tank cap for the small neck not a current day one thanks all the same. John Stokes

Hi all,Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.I have managed to get the shift tower all hooked up and working thanks to Euen and Keith.I still had to make the support brackets, winch linkage and modify the gate plate inside the tower but the dummy assy is all working fine.I will strip it apart ready for painting tomorrow and turn up some pins for the clevis.A couple of night ago we took the old Blitz down to a mates new dam down the road, that explains what it is doing in the photo,Beer and silly mates cause this.

Glad to be able to help, John.

I was wondering how you'd mount the front drive declutch mechanism.

[John Stokes]

Hopefuly that is as close to original as possibe Keith.By the way have you any decent seat frames or complete seats to suit the chev?

[Euan McDonald]

Hey John, I sure you could find a couple of seat frames under my house. I have found a set of Acco rear fair-leads you may adapt for your project.

Hi all, Too long since working on the C15 but got the house to lock up so i can get back to the real job at hand.The base of the cab went on and back into the shed she went.Front nose is on and guards,today i worked on rebushing the compressor as it had a severe oil leak.I found on dissassembly the big end bush had come out and allowed the oil to flow down the oil hole and fill up the crank of the compressor and out the breather.Also the breather wasn't sealed to the pot so i sealed it all up and hopefully it holds oil.Hand brake all done and finishing off the transfer shifter assy.Note the poor old white Chev in the third photo has been robbed of her front diff no more outings for a while. ( Thanks to Euen the fun police)
