Default Welcome to the fun

Hi Harle

Welcome to MLU if you have browsed around you probably have seen the wealth of CMP information to be found on MLU. Now you can really start to ask questions. Now for some questions for you, which Pattern C60L do you have? What dose it have for a body?

Cheers Phil

Default Great truck

Hi

You got what looks to be the dream truck complete, good condition, and original, paint.

Any evidence of something having been painted on the doors? My Pattern 13 C60S came out of France in the 1980s and Stenciled on the doors was:

NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION
TO THE FRENCH ARMY
FROM THE CANADIAN ARMY

Yours is a wonderful find.

Cheers Phil

Hello
Yes it's an Nice truck !
Nothing writen on the door But the atlantik treaty is called OTAN in france an the truck is equiped with the OTAN lights and trailer spoket, OTAN begins in 1949 and standardize some equipements on the vehicles .

The two headlights from the truck are marked "export" so I think the truck was built for the right side driving.

many small thinks are différent on the truck like the ""dog house" the front doors ... Is it due to the late version of the truck?

Best regards

Sylvain

Here are some pictures:


The dog house with this cover on the top (deep fording kit?)



What is missing on the booth front door?



What is the use of this spring bracket and this sling on the top?



What is the use of this curved cut on the steep boards?


Thank you for help
best regards
Sylvain
