Hi Hanno
Two possible lists , Peter Ford, and John Merchant list. Though many of those are from existing vehicles. Will take look and see what numbers show up . Cheers Phil PS Is the serial or engine known both list have those as well so might find something closer.

LV.1679 was one of the contracts for C8A's, see Chevrolet Heavy Utility contracts. Search this forum, and you'll find a few more C8A's supplied under that number. HTH, Hanno IMG_1186.jpg

Parts of David Hayward's site were copied to other sites, for Chevrolet census numbers see his page:
"ALLOCATION OF W.D. NUMBERS BY CENTRAL CENSUS TO 23RD NOVEMBER 1944 - CHEVROLET" at http://www.gregwapling.com/hotrod/ch...t/warchev.html Search for "C.8A" HTH, Hanno Quote:

Hi Hanno,
Thank you for sharing the link. I'm sadly not able to get any meaningful info out of it though. Searching fir the contract number also has not brought up anything solid. Maybe I'm not looking good enough? And maybe someone else has any info? Cheers! |

Marty,
Following Bram Goudkuil's suggestion I searched on the RLC Archive (https://www.rlcarchive.org) and got a subscription to do some digging. One contract I found was (corrected below is it was transcribed incorrectly in the RLCA database):
According to David Hayward SM6407 was an order for the C8A with 1C11 staff car body, so this number range would not really fit your C8A body style. Quote:

Hi Hanno,
Is M here the prefix as in CM? What does the M mean? Also, I have to do some research on how the WD numbers work. I've not yet seen a number that started with 62. |
