Chevrolet CMP C15 cab 11 body 2A1

[Alex van de Wetering]

The C8 from Gord measures at 7 3/4 in on one side and 8 inches on the driver's side.

I measured 193mm passenger side, 195mm driver side on my C8

I have access to 7 cab 12 circa 41 and 42 and one cab 11 circa 1940

6 of them have the shallow inner fender with the floor plate measuring 9 in. and that includes my cab 11. All are Chevys and all C15a.

That leaves me with two odd balls with the deep recess inner fenders at 7 3/4 in. floor plates. One is a cab 12 from a Marina in Gananoque the other the remains of a cab 12 that was dismantled at CC2 the second gathering of the Caldswell. I eventually salvaged the rolling chassis and some sheet metal from Don ( last name???) who lived at the time in Hamilton. Both these vehicles had the strange looking inner fenders with even less toe room.

Here are some photos of the inner fender seen from underneath the fender.

...and one that shows where the elusive little spring fits to support the flex brake line.

I'm sorry I didn't have time to go to the workshop to measure floor plate yet.
In mean time I've got new loop points made by my friend.

[Bob Carriere]

As you friend considered making them for selling....?

Sorry for delay .
Floor plate around 195 mm passenger side.

Upper part of the cab is fixed. Today we removed floor plates. Wooden spacers which were under it are in quite good shape after all these years. Any idea what is part marked with arrow for ?

[Jordan Baker]

Jacek, the arrow is pointing to the bolt that the grab handle attaches to.
