It's a 20 inch split rim, 5 bolt pattern.

I've got the GS box just working on the floor replacing the front 2 feet. Sat nose down with water in it so had to fabricate said floor, bottom corners of the sides and bottom of the front bulkhead. I'll go take some pictures now that I've got the hang of posting pics on here.

AS time permits....
....would not mind seeing your progress on the box and some general before and after pictures. Wheels/rims will most likely be found in old junk yards associated with 1940 GM/Chev.... very narrow for 7:50 tires.... military may have been oversize to 8:25 .......
Certainly a very sturdy frame....overbuilt as anything else from that period. One question puzzles me...... after thw war it was quite common to retro fit CMP with civilian double wheels which fitted the rear axle shaft and bearing...... I wonder if the same applies in reverse..... that a CMP brake plate, drum and 20 CMP wheel could fit on that same axle shaft...? Any one knows out there...? Bob

Inside detail of the left rear light. IMG-20120615-00059.jpg Replacing the front portion of the floor, I can't duplicate the ribbing so I went a gauge up to make up the rigidity. IMG-20120615-00061.jpg The left rear light placement, the wiring harness had 2 wires but I believe it is just the pencil light of later CMP's with the second wire for grounding. IMG-20120615-00060.jpg Front Bulkhead was out where I could take a picture all original except for the bottom 3 inches. IMG-20120615-00058.jpg The front hitch, surge mechanism and the reverse lockup with the slotted holder for storage. Having done the breaks a CMP brake drum does fit on, Shoes and all parts from the brake cables, cylinders backing plates etc are all the same as on a 15CWT CMP.

Having said that the CMP brake drum appears to fit, the shoes are the narrower ones from the font of the CMP's but the spindle matches the rear which has a wider set of brake shoes.
Correction the shoes were exactly the same as the REAR brake shoes. Last edited by Harry Moon; 23-07-12 at 18:55.

Earlier this summer I posted a link to a forum with a fellow doing sheet metal work on old cars. He describes forming ribs with a female mould and a judiciously applied hammer on a male die. The same effect can be done with a roller swaging tool, but after doing 4 feet of rib on one panel, it doesn't have any other use.

I found one supplier carrying this tyre size. Brand is Rintal, I think it is an agricultural implement tyre. No doubt there are other brands carrying this size, though it isn't very common. H.

20 CWT almost finished
got to finish up the paint and tactical signs and a couple of other items but into the garage for now as I've got to have the yard cleaned up for my son's wedding next week. I don't know why they all couldn't just mingle around the trucks and stuff....

Looks great Harry, well done!
Please be aware this one of only a handful of these tailers left, letting alone restored ones. . . Hanno

Spare rim for Harry!
Ha sounds like a novel title don't it. Yes we are back with the loot as it were.
It was a long drive and although the wheel was large even without the tire. Anita did not have to cuddle up with it while sleeping in the back although I did suggest it should come between us a few times! Ha ha. Naw she was a good sport and i managed to stow it away under the bed on my side so it tilted me to her side...? It made it home intact and even across the line without search or siezure when coming back to Canada via Saskatchewan. No recipt? No worries had the one for the rad I got...thans Rob for the tour and the recci of the elephant grave yrard! say Hi to Al! It was good to meet you Rob and see your set up, sorry no pics as I want to leave that to him...well there was one of us together when he was suiting up for battling rust! Maybe I'll post it If Rob says it's okay...? Anita askes Rob...? As I said great to meet you Rob and I am glad we got to bring the rim to other west of Canada... Casey and Anita... Oh By the way if you do get the chance to be envited to Rob Loves Compound..be prepared to walk lot's, work lot's and get dirty! Did I mention Work? Kidding Rob

Good to hear you made it back to BC, but I have to tell you that Saskatchewan is in fact part of Canada, so you should not have had any problems with Saskatchewan customs. There is no work going on here, just fun. If summer was only 12 months long, it would be perfect, but already the changes in the seasons is starting to occur. It was only 5°C last night. In 2 months or so that could well be the high of the day.The rain is also coming down more often, making harvesting of sand for the sand blaster much more difficult. I had one of these trailers a few years ago that I ended up scrapping because the box had been overly modified. I still use the frame on my wood hauling trailer, and the cargo box is used to hold scrap metal. I think I have the upside down "Aid China" contract data plate for it somewhere. The axle and miscellaneous parts went to Minto MB. I suspect there are still more of these hiding around, but they are indeed uncommon in restored condition.

Still warm here and it's okay with me...I know what you mean about being hot during the day then dropping like a rock in the evenings! It got cold in the truck while in back...especially up in the hills! hey you mentioned Oregon for the convention/show next year are you going to it? It is the one for MVPA correct?
Good to hear you are taking it easy...Casey
