Also can anyone tell me if these two items mounted inside on the back of the cab are original as there is a box and rod bolted to it ??

A few more, Its amazing that I hardly seen any CMPs in the last 10 years around here and in 11 short months that I now have 4
![]() Also that all of these units are Fords and pretty much every Cmp that I have seen here in Alberta have been Fords and in BC they pretty much have been all Chevs, Any thought to this ??? |

I believe your 15cwt with the M-MACH-1 chassis would be from a KL welding lorry. If so, it likely has a fair pack of rear springs. The KLs were very heavy. The cab should also be in good shape. KLs did not put on a lot of unnecessary miles, and did not get abused like a regular cargo.
Re the Ford/Chevy thing, I find the same thing in this province. Other than specialized vehicles like the gin palace, pretty much all the CMPs I have ever found locally were Fords. Thank Goodness too, as that flathead is a work of art and engineering. The only chevs that have ever been in my yard were the ones where there was no Ford version available. |

Does anyone have a clue as to whether the 2 items on the inside back of the cab roof are possibly original ??

Well I was able to pick up another piece to the puzzle yesterday the hard to find spare tire/tool box and the shopping list is getting smaller.
Just a general question to all of the cmp crowd that has more experience and knowledge than me but how many different variants of the toolbox/Spare tire holder were made as looking through various pictures I have seen some that are welded together, some that has a bit of a cutout on each side where the gas filler neck is and the one I picked up looks for the most part bolted together ?? |

I think the bolted variant was issued with the Completely Knocked Down (C.K.D.) 15-cwt bodies 2H1 and 2J1, because to me it makes sense to have a tool box which can be flat-packed alongside a flat-packed cargo box. The ones with the cut-out were for the earlier 2A1, 2B1 (and early 2C1?) bodies to clear the short filler necks on the Cab 11 and 12. CMP_15_Cwt_body_styles_CKD.jpg

Well today was another great day in locating parts for the project, I got the 2 front bins that go under the front of the cargo box, also 2 spare tire clam shells on a mount which I believe came off a welding truck as it has 4 mounting tabs under it. also the Battery cover which looks NOS
