Hi Kevin,

Did you buy that C15A off eBay? There are some differences between the C15 4x2 and C15A 4x4, that's why I'm asking.

I assume he wants the angle iron arches for an 11 or 12 cab and there's quite a difference between the 4x2 and 4x4. It has to do with how sharp the wheels turn. The inner sheet metal is different too.

Hi, Hanno and David, Yes I bought that one, I have attached a picture from 1991 of what she once looked like, I guess 21 years of standing outside unused has taken its toll. Firstly what attracted me to this machine was the tow bar, I will remove it and use it on the 'Stacey Towing Attachement' on my carrier, Secondly is the number plate '112FCE', This is worth more in the uk than the truck itself!. To be able to remove and sell this number the vehicle needs to be taxed and tested, The plan is to remove the cab and buck, commission the engine, driveline and brakes, get it MOT'ed, get the taxation class changed to 'historic'...............then put the number on 'retention'. What I hope to end up with is a CMP truck which works out to be a very economical investment.

So looking for a new cab as this one I think is behond repair, I have a fellow digging out the trucks history and an article of when it was first restored many years ago.

kevin.

Kevin,

That's a good one for CMPs where are they now?!

Here's hoping you investment turns out well plus another CMP is saved.

Kevin,

I understand 21 years outside taking their toll. I do not understand a previous owner(s) leaving a nice truck like this one outside for that period. It's barbaric....

Cheers,
