This is the same basic body type that I modified to fit my C60L sliced 10" out of the middle length wise. To get a reasonable visual match for the one of the Australian drop side boxes. It also makes my C60L a very useful truck for cargo.

Looks like a recent (M35 era) shelter:

[Grant Bowker]

If you want to restore the shelter (weren't most of these house bodies on the dual wheeled version of the chassis?) I have a copy of the CV-47 parts book for the body that says it was for mounting on the M207 CDN chassis. In general, this body looks to be more solidly built than the 2K1 body used on the C15A wire5. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it is mounted on a chassis rated for over 3 times the load (or 6 times if you use the highway rating instead of the cross country rating).

[Phil Waterman]

I looked at one of these cargo bodies to see if it was practical to narrow it to fit on CMP. Given the gauge of the steel it would cut like butter with a plasma torch. But some of these were insulated with a paper type material that burns really good.

Phil,

This picture actually shows the early GS fixed side rear body (5D2 and 5D4 type), as discussed in the thread Chevrolet C60L with early GS body. I think you did a great job on restoring your C60L. But I am only mentioning this as it widens the options for others restoring 3-ton CMPs, as I reckon fixed side bodies are more numerous than drop side bodies.

Regards,
Hanno

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Hanno

That was the point that I was making is that a visual approximation of the GS body can be made up using modern cargo bodies. Even if this is a interim step while a faithful body is being built.

I should have noticed that the image was a fix side. Back in the old thread the term I believe "locally built GS body" was used to describe.

What I find interesting was that CMPs had so many variations of body styles and so many useful adaptations such as the drop side bodies.

I suspect that the large number of mixed and matched bodies is the result of many rebuilds and quick salvage repairs.

Found on the Owen Sound Kijiji
http://owensound.kijiji.ca/c-cars-ve...AdIdZ147181462
The truck looks like the Caldwell's truck, so does the phone number. Asking price is $6500.

There is a CMP rolling chasis and cab (13 I think) for sale in Sherwood Park, AB on kijiji. There are no doors or windows and it looks to be in good shape. Is $1900.00 a fair price? There is no motor but I believe there is a trany and transfer case.

Thanks

Wayne

Wayne,

Yes I could, no problems, but what is the "proper thread"?

Hanno

[WayneR]

I thought it would fit better in the "For Sale or Trade"? Just guessing though.

Wayne

[Hanno Spoelstra]

Ah yes, of course. Done.

Can you provide a link to the ad?

Thanks,
Hanno

It has been listed off and on since spring. I decided to give it a pass based on the modifictions, likely abuse, price, useful parts remaining etc. balance.

If I'm not mistaken, that's the truck that used to be in the boatyard in Pefferlaw (just south of Lake Simcoe). SUNRAY MINOR took several photos of it some years ago, albeit not from the same angle. It's not in bad shape, all things considered.

Speaking of Kijiji CMP's, here's one in Nova Scotia for anyone interested:

Looks like a potential good buy, strange how it goes some times I know someone in the states who has more that invested in a pile of parts which may or may not even be a complete truck. Not sure I should froward this this along to him as it might discourage him.

Makes you wonder what kind of 17 inch rims they have fitted on that..... a nice alternative to the elusive 13 inchers.... and looks good with the taller rubber....

There is also another one in the yard of Kinney 4x4 wrecker in Kaladar if anyone is interested in getting a running example together.
