Just started on a mechanical check up of the C15, starting with the brakes. Attached is an image of the OSF back plate, which only has one coat of primer, in light grey, yet looking at the shock absorber and some of the chassis, it looks like it was originally painted black. Any thoughts ?
Also attached is an image of the polsten barrel cleaning rods, recently purchased. Regards Keith

Just returned from a spot of cross boarder raiding into England and spent a very enjoyable evening with Keith examining amongst other things his C15.
This is an exceptional truck in every respect not least in its originality and exceptional low mileage just a shade over 8K miles and it ticks over like a watch. Keith has some exciting plans for the truck which he will no doubt be sharing here at some stage this is one to keep an eye out for here on MLU and on the show field when it appears.

Guys,
Spent a few days sanding down a couple of areas on the Chevy, and have found the following: On the NS locker, the remains of an Allied star, with the words DRIVE SLOW painted on sideways. On the NS door the original Cencus No of Z5195155, applied on No 2 Brown, over what was Light Stone ?, both cracking colours, no intention of covering any of this up , as it's taken over 70 years to show this. Back to the garage to see if I can find anymore.... Regards Keith

It could well be (parts of) your C15 was painted Light Stone, and by the time it was finished it was designated to the shipped to the UK rather than the Middle East, and thus painted SCC 2. Some parts of my Jan. '43 F15A also have a Light Stone base paint, and then consecutive layers of green.

Hi Hanno,
The cencus number on the drivers door is almost unreadable, which may explain why the last owner partially guessed at it's true census number, the last four digits coming from the chassis number. Just had the master cylinder returned from being sleeved with a st/st liner, so that will be reassembled and re fitted soon. Rear lights and axle light now working (corroded / dirty contacts on chassis switch). Next job is to have a look at the rear brakes. Regards Keith

Guys,
Just had a reply back from Surrey History Centre, thanks to Richard for the heads up. From the Dennis Brothers Ltd Chassis Book, Nov 1927 to Jan 1944, it would appear that my Chevy arrived at the Dennis factory on 12/01/44, and departed on 03/02/44. Body and chassis numbers all tying in !The customer was COO Chilwell, order No 711, WO No was 10668. Sadly no other records have survived. The hunt is still on for drawings of the body, I may try Vauxhall Motors next. Keith
