Default What more are you going to find...?

You are on one lucky streak......keep it up.

Careful moving the box .... the soft aluminum skin is easily damaged but then also easily repaired.

Grant here at the barn is working on one..... still doing work on the truck ... the redo of the box will come later.

Keep your eyes open for trailers or frame thereof with 16 inch CMP wheels.

Looking forward for the inside pictures.....don't be discouraged if the 1/4 inch ceiling panels have rotted and crashed to the floor.... that can be fixed.

When you look inside.....

on the right hand side should be a black panel with round knobs........

....be very careful it might be a self destruction device still armed to explode.......


.................

................................

......or a charging panel that is very hard to find......!!!!!

Default Moving the C15A Radio Body

Bob,

I will check out the inside, take some photos and post next week on MLU. Thanks for the heads up on the knobs. I will specifically take a photo of that area. I'm not sure what kind of trailer frame it is on, will take some pictures of that also.

The C15A that I have doesn't have a roof. I have access to two Cab12 bodies, that once fitted to the C15A chassis would look appropriate with the radio body on the back? I welcome all MLU comments.

Richard

Default Not sure....

Hi Richard

I am no the expert on this one BUT I don't think that kind of radio box was ever mounted on a cab 12 chassis configuration ........ but even if not historically correct it would look rather nice....

If you already have a good C15a rolling frame a cab 13 should be relatively easy to find.... a lot easier than finding a radio box.

Keep looking God only knows what else you will find......

Bob
