Default numbers

Hi Tony,

Yes the numbers are 385 not 355. Just got word from the chap who owns it. Said between his eyes and the etching on the data plate it was hard to read.

Another point of interest on this list would be to also post the location, even town name only, where these old girls are. I know 016 is Coonamble and mine 518 and Moody’s 275 are located in Coonabarabran. Just a thought.

Mick

So do I understand correctly all C8AX´s were delivered with the wider 15-cwt fenders (so this example is not an exeption to the rule)?
Correct, the C8AX-01 Parts List does show the same part number for the 4 parts of the front fenders/wings/guards as those listed for the C15A and C60L in those parts lists.

David, we can tell you that the search has continued, despite you not being here to give your input.

Still have not located 001, but have not found any vehicle higher than 900, either. Did anyone ever find the original purchase demand or contract details that listed how many C8AX went to NZ?

I have been considering the conundrum of the build dates. I wonder if we have automatically assumed the the "5" in the date field is actually meant to represent the day of the month? All of the stampings show the 5 well over to the left side of the box, while the month and year are on the far right hand side. I wonder if the 5 means something altogether different and the build date just records the Mth/Yr?

5 Mar 43 was a Friday.
5 Apr 43 was a Monday.
5 May 43 was a Wednesday.
5 June 43 was a Saturday.

What administrative, clerical or production milestone was recorded on the 5th of the month, when they were such diverse days? Maybe 5 instead represents an assembly section or production department at Petone, in the same way a batch or lot number might be shown for other defence products?

Tony.

It does seem odd the ‘5’ is a constant on all data plates, and is always to the extreme left of the Date Box on the data plates. You might be correct in that it has nothing to do at all with the build date.

I know nothing about the CKD production process, but suspect the vehicles were never fully assembled by GM at their Oshawa plant. Assembly likely went only so far and then everything else was packed in the crates for shipment. It would make no sense to fully assembly the vehicles, test them and then strip them all down for crating.

So, if the CKD vehicle reaches the end point at the production line, technically for the GM plant in Oshawa, the assembly/build is not complete on a particular date, but all the pieces would be ready to go at some point in any given month and year. The ‘5’ might, therefore, be a reference code used internally by GM to denote a ‘Complete, but not assembled vehicle’ that is ready for shipping.

I think the work at GM’s Oshawa plant for GM would have only been the Cab and Chassis part of the CKD. The CKD body would have been shipped knocked down from its separate builder and/or sourced locally at a foreign Assembly Plant.

I have only ever seen one CKD complete vehicle. It was a Ford Cab 13 15-cwt GS. The cab data plates did not have ‘CKD’ on them anywhere as I recall, but the body data plate on the rear of the box did have ‘CKD stamped into it. The box came from a plant in Tillsonberg, Ontario as I recall.

Maybe it might be worth checking other CMP weight classes for surviving CKD vehicles from GM and see what their cab data plates have to say. The same ‘5’ stamp might show up on them as well as these cute little trucks.

Just my 2.5 cents worth.

David

David, I believe all the rear bodies were built here, none being supplied from Canada.

Default Spare tyres

Good day,
Question for the experts, did the C8AX have a spare tyre? The only one that is shown with a spare, that I can see on this forum is the one in post 117 at Coonamble. I am asking that question because the wheels are hard to find and if they didn't carry a spare that is one thing less to find.

Are the fuel tanks normal C15/15A/60L tanks or are the fillers a little bit different?
Cheers Ken.

Yes the spare wheel bolted onto a crude bracket inside the tub , forward end . will look for the drawings. The tyres were 9.25 x16 low profile from memory

Nice image Hanno. I wonder if NZ24990 is a survivor?
Is the 4th one a radio shack?

Interesting to see the different tyre mounting variation on the first vehicle compared to the rest in the lineup.

The front one is set up for longer tyre life on road, the other two for running in mud. Reality is" put those wheels on those trucks...............at the double!"

What are the markings on the door? Not the NZ number, but beside it. I might be inclined to believe it says "TF"

It location looks very well like it could be GM NZ at Petone, might these be newly assembled trucks for delivery?

Lynn, yes the 4th one is a W/T truck. It looks further down the line are Wheeled Armoured Carriers.

I was reading this thread when i learnt there was a C8AX ambulance with a slightly lengthened body. I have been aware of this very poor photo showing an RNZAF ambulance at Jacquinot Bay in 1944. I alway thought the body looked a bit long for 8/15cwt but not long enough for 30cwt.

Then a few nights ago I found this photo on the RNZAF Museum website showing RNZAF units departing Green Island for Jacquinot Bay. This led me to search this site. So proof at least one served overseas.

Default Great pics!

These last two posts help fill the gaps in written accounts as only pics can do!

The pics of C8AX ambulances prove that they were landed on the Solomon Islands captured by 3 NZ Division.
Until now I had only seen a pic of ambulances on Guadalcanal which in 1943 was the forward base from where the amphibious assaults were mounted.
The war histories of the army medical units state they removed the red crosses as the Japanese would target them!

The line up of vehicles going to Korea with K Force is interesting as one contingent with 163 Battery RNZA was aboard an old inter-island ferry named Wahine which ran aground on an island to the north of Australia in 1950.
All the men were rescued by a tanker nearby but all the vehicles and 25 pdrs went down with the ship.
A gunner was decorated for diving into the holds to disable the guns a point of honour as the guns are their colours!

(Another inter-island ferry called Wahine foundered in Wellington Harbour in 1968 with serious loss of life)

Default C8AX Ambulance

From another page:

Comments by Rob Beale:

Quote:
Clues to identify the location and date:- Soldiers hats (lemon squeezers) have a coloured band which identifies their Corps. The cap badge identifies the Corps (or Regiment if Infantry). The number plate has a symbol centre bottom - 1941-46 was a white diamond on a black plate. 1951-56 was a white comma on a black plate

The ambulance has an 18 inch extension at the tail of the chassis for the longer deck. The tailgate is a folding step. Upper stretcher frames fold down for seated cases (as with LH side in pic while RH frame is raised). Tare weight is 2 ton 15 cwt versus 2 ton 10 cwt for GS truck

While there is no firm answer on the number of C8AX vehicles procured, numbers of 900, 1000 or 1200 have been suggested.

Whichever of these numbers proves to be correct, it is quite remarkable that the confirmed list of surviving vehicles currently stands at 47 vehicles. It is conceivable that there will be a number of "undiscovered" vehicles out there, hidden away on farms, workshops and wrecking yards, potentially expanding the list by 100%.

This means that after 77 years, around 10% of these vehicles still survive, many in restored and operating condition. Is there any comparable class of military vehicle that has stood the test of time so well?

Some 46 Grizzlies out of 188 built have survived: http://the.shadock.free.fr/Surviving_Grizzlys.pdf

That is mainly due to these not seeing combat, plus many were supplied to armies after WW2 which only used them for training and kept them in reserve long enough for collectors to snap them up (rather than being scrapped).

GMC, Dodges and Willys/Ford military vehicles being kept as strategic reserves were a main source for today’s fleet of preserved vehicles (as were the French Navy’s stock of CMPs) in Europe.

At least, these beauties were saved form the scrappy . Would be nice to know the arrangement of how these ex NZ army trucks were imported into Australia from the Solomon Islands . Did the NZ Govt. just sell the whole lot as a closed one off deal ? Was there a open bidding arrangement ? Torokina Equipment in Sydney were selling their 'Island stock' which included not only C8AX but other surplus vehicles, they didn't stay around in business very long.

Default C8AX s/n XH8448-259

Cross reference from Heads Up: C8AX in New Zealand:

Serial number reads as XH8448-259. Seems we haven't seen this one on here before.
