She is coming together, the amount of nuts and bolts on a Cab 12 is mind bogling! I like to give a name to my vehicles, maybe not a common Canadian pracitise, but I like it. Hence Nipper for my HUW and still looking for something relevant for this C8. I am placing it in Sicily/Italy . How does Deanna sound? A good old Winnipeg girl! Vera is taken as we all know. What a great hobby! Cheers for now.
Darn those 13 inch rims and adapters!!!!

Deanna sounds like a good option. Meanwhile, found my snaps of the C8 that was out a Sydney, will post later.
Also, I have bunch of snaps of that C8A tow truck, too, that the museum had out for display at the Reunion the year before last.

Rob,
No wonder I haven't seen you around lately.Do you let Tony go home at night or do you lock him in the garage to keep working on the truck?Will it be driving when the snow dissapears or do you have to work on the engine to get it going?Great job!The truck will get better gas mileage than my Dakota. Derk.

having fun for the most part. Here is question for the 800 cwt. guys out there. Was there a difference between Ford and Chev 13 inch wheel adapters? Were the wheel adapters a different piece or were some built into the brake drum? See pic. What am I looking at here? The search is still on! Cheers Rob

Hi Rob,
The Ford does not use the wheel adapters. The Ford uses special hubs and drums made for the military wheels. The Chevy uses the wheel adapters on the rear only, with special hubs and drums on the front axle. Hope this helps. Paul |

this 800cwt is something completly different for me. Does anyone have some details on the back stowage for my wireless box application? How did the spare tire hold into the back left cabinet? Did the back right cabinet which supported the chorehorse have a hinged access and was there a vertical steel channell running thru the cabinet to house the flexable corehorse exhaust muffler outlet? What is the layout on the right side of the box as far as 19 set set up is concerned? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers Rob

Rob, here are some pics from Gregg's Military Vehicle Profiles that should help you. It looks like the exterior shelf for the Chorehorse just hinged up against the back of the box for storage and you removed the gen set from the cabinet to put it on the shelf when required. The colour pic is a resto so might not be 100% accurate.
