My New Project C15A Water Truck

[Ian Johns]

That's what was in mine.

Great truck but I noticed the rear fenders are different. Still a camera and half an hour would be invaluable.

I have some more photos.

Ian, can you tell us more about the primer coat you sprayed that part of the frame?

Ian,

Probably not as good as half an hour around an actual truck, but you can find a large format scan of the vehicle side view displayed in the thread and another shot of the truck with the canvas fitted by using this link:

Both pictures are from the Dutch Defense archives and show the trucks in post-war use by the Dutch.

Thanks Alex there are some great photos there.

The primer is just your standard primer. Across the parking lot from my shop is a body shop and they just give me whatever I need.

Hi Alex

Those are great photos, real high resolution for looking at details. Things like the recent question about which mirror arm was correct is clearly visible in these photos.

Now I have to figure out how to down load the entire of each photos at full resolution. I can grab them as screen shots but that looses some of the detail that is there. My problem of course is in translating the site to find out how to download the images.

Again great photos.

Cheers Phil

Are all the floor boards removable?? I think some of mine are welded to the cab frame?

Hi Svenn

Yes and no, my 1942 Pat 13 C60S all of the floor boards in the cab are removable. While my 1945 HUPs forward cab area all but two squares by each door are removable I don't know the reason for the change.

Of course the rear floors of HUPs are welded in place but that doesn't effect your project.

Cheers Phil

Maybe it's a water truck thing like the wood strips under the cab but my rear plate is welded but the front 2 unbolt.
