Mike and Bob - I will check when I'm back at the shop on Monday. Mine looks very similar to the 39 1 ton frame.
Bob - yes, I was confused, I will look at the cross member under the cab as per your diagram. I'm sure I'll find more crap under there as well. The other CMP is going to stay in the field where it is until maybe the spring. Next time I'm up that way, I'll drop in on the farmer to see what it is but right now, I have lots to do. Alex - thanks for the compliment, it is a wonderful shop. My only problem is that I have to work full time to pay for it which leaves little time for the fun stuff like restoring CMP's! However, I am working on a life/work/CMP restoration balance this winter. I'm not sure if I will be as productive as Peter Duggan. Thanks guys for the comments, I keep forgetting that the 8's are only 2 wheel drive! Pretty easy to do after spending years looking at the 4 wheel drive units.

Hi Mike
I also have a 40 chev 1 ton pickup which I have yet to undress.......but peaking underneath the as the flat rear frame and provision for dual rear. The 40 frame looks identical to my eyes to the 37..... can't really compare until the body is removed from the 40 My 37 sports 16" artilery rims while the 1940 has balloon 6:50 x20 tires. The forty has the complete power train..... more stuff to play with. Got the 1940 on EBAY a few days just before Xmas only bidder and truck was only 1OO miles from my place....... spare fenders, rear axle, rims, and two extra cabs...... for $100.

Bob, those photos can't be recent? Or did a blizzard bypass my neighbourhood?

But, more honestly, the photos the photos look to have been taken several years ago when Bob acquired the truck. |
