Chevrolet CMP C15 cab 11 body 2A1

Some more work done on the box.

These reinforcements of rear mudguards are original or were added later ?
Welding was done just on ends and it was a good place for mud to start corrossion.

Hi Jacek

Based on my observations the earlier cab11 had the upper half of the mudguard made of steel and the bottom half made of rubber.

Later on, with the shortage of rubber, that part was replaced with a canvass portion, double tickness and had a steel insert plate inside the canvass to weight it down while driving.

My rear mudguard are same as on this drawing, I marked where reinforcements are located.

Sorry Jacek

I was referring to the 2B1 steel box....... I do not have rouned fenders like yours mine are squared but I do have a mudguard underneath that is part steel part rubber.

I see from you drawing that the very bottom of your fender does have a mud flap......

In the wooden box it would make sense that they would have re-inforcements at that location...... but is it original or added later??? only someone with a similar wooden box would be able to compare.

I looked through all my pictures and can't find any sign of reinforcement there. I'd say they were added on later.

There is no chance to see it on photos as they were welded inside the mudguard. Reinforcements in these parts is smart idea only welding should be done all around not just on the ends. Also these reinforcements are too well done for later addition, shaped to mudguard shape , all four have holes exactly in same place. French mechanics are good but why whould they bother?
