Default Any thoughts ?

Hi! I am pretty new into CMP's. I have been into military ww2 jeeps and motorcycles for about 25 years though.

I am concidering buying this one?



It has a nice original interior, no modifications on the frame, original engine that turns. Original dataplates. No roof hatch.

Any tip for what to be on the alert for? What should I check?

I have an original cargobed waiting for it

BTW- what are good sources for parts for CMP's?

Svenn

Hi Svenn

Welcome on MLU

Nice looking Blitz, Chev or Ford?

A good source for Blitz parts is Dirk's Shop in the Netherlands.

Greetings
Chris

Hi Svenn,
Welcome to the world of CMP's. Lots of very helpful guys on here who will help with your questions. Don't be afraid to ask.
Looking at the picture you posted, that C15 (looking at the front hub it's a 4x2) is in very good condition, considering her age. Even if you did'nt have access to a rear body, then it is still well worth restoring, as a rear body could be fabricated. I'm still amazed at the condition of the cab tinwork, and you are very lucky that the data plates are still there, I'm sure David H will be interested in the details. Carefully rubbing down the front panels and doors, may even reveal her true identity.
Good luck with your intended purchase, and let's see some more pictures of her, when you bring her home
Regards
Keith
