This body type fits nicely on long Wheelbase CMP
http://ottawa.kijiji.ca/c-cars-vehic...AdIdZ130597109
This is the same basic body type that I modified to fit my C60L sliced 10" out of the middle length wise. To get a reasonable visual match for the one of the Australian drop side boxes. It also makes my C60L a very useful truck for cargo.

And Used Ottawa has...
Looks like a recent (M35 era) shelter:

Rob, if you need another project....
If you want to restore the shelter (weren't most of these house bodies on the dual wheeled version of the chassis?) I have a copy of the CV-47 parts book for the body that says it was for mounting on the M207 CDN chassis. In general, this body looks to be more solidly built than the 2K1 body used on the C15A wire5. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, it is mounted on a chassis rated for over 3 times the load (or 6 times if you use the highway rating instead of the cross country rating).

Cutting 10" band out of that would be fun
I looked at one of these cargo bodies to see if it was practical to narrow it to fit on CMP. Given the gauge of the steel it would cut like butter with a plasma torch. But some of these were insulated with a paper type material that burns really good.
Cheers Phil

This picture actually shows the early GS fixed side rear body (5D2 and 5D4 type), as discussed in the thread Chevrolet C60L with early GS body. I think you did a great job on restoring your C60L. But I am only mentioning this as it widens the options for others restoring 3-ton CMPs, as I reckon fixed side bodies are more numerous than drop side bodies. Regards, Hanno

Just use the term locally built GS body
Hi Hanno
That was the point that I was making is that a visual approximation of the GS body can be made up using modern cargo bodies. Even if this is a interim step while a faithful body is being built. I should have noticed that the image was a fix side. Back in the old thread the term I believe "locally built GS body" was used to describe. What I find interesting was that CMPs had so many variations of body styles and so many useful adaptations such as the drop side bodies. I suspect that the large number of mixed and matched bodies is the result of many rebuilds and quick salvage repairs.
