I'd say Cab 12. My first indicator was the valves for the footwell vents. Then I saw the hinges for the opening hood of the Cab 12.
The cases in the background say Chevrolet and the features of the cabs do seem to match Chevrolet (but I haven't checked enough details to be 100% that they can't be Fords).

I agree..Chev Cab12's. Excellent picture

A Cab 11 or 12 CMP in a Single Unit Pack.
Early Ford F15 or F15A cab11 is my best guess. You can see the small radiator cap, Ford dash, and absence of door hooks and knobs for the cab vents.

Let me be a dissenting voice. I say Ford 11 cab. The instrument cluster and switches look Ford and you can see a rad cap on the cowl that wouldn't be there on a 12 cab.

Default CMP in a box

Does anyone know where I can find a CMP in a box? There must be some stashed away somewhere.

(And 1st of Apr sometimes comes early.)

Default CMP Shipping Methods

I think the photograph needs to be flipped to get the instrument cluster on the correct right side.

Part of me looks at those 8 and 10 inch wide softwood boards and groans. Those trees were cut down a long time ago, and you just don't find that cut of lumber anymore.

Good morning Ed,
Are you sure the photo needs to be flipped? Doing so creates an unusual left hand drive CMP (steering column location as well as the packing location of the steering wheel)....

Yeah, looking closer, I agree with you.
