Where can I find parts like a rad cap and the part that the cap attached to on the rad? My original rad where the cap screws on is rusted out.
Inst panel glass?
Its a long list I'm afraid, Some photos attached. Any help on sourcing parts would be fantastic.

Hi Bob..
Welcome to the forum..Brad Mills in Truro(I believe that he is a Nissan Dealer in Truro) knows all about CMP vehicles..That is what you have,,Canadian Military Pattern vehicle.
Get your self some manuals..a copy of the Maintenance and Parts manuals are a must..
Grant Bowker makes great reprints..he is on this forum..
and reasonable..
Here are the manuals you need..
#3: 300+ pages MB-C2 Maintenance Manual, for GM CMP vehicles. 15 cwt 4x2, 15 cwt. 4x4, 30 cwt 4x4, 3 ton 4x4 HU 4x4, F.A.T. 4x4. Sept. 1943
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#3A 300+ pages GM Service Bulletins Updates for MB-C2(May-November 1943).. ***These bulletins were issued to the field maintenance shops for upgrades to the CMP vehicles.. Many proceedures in the bulletins and additions did not make the maintenance manuals..
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#7: 210 pages C15-02 CHEV. ILLUST. SPARE PARTS LIST. 15CWT 4X2 MODEL C15 - CHASSIS 8421, 101" W.B. CDN.MIL. PATTERN (INC. MOD. C15-01, 02) BODY OPTIONS:- VAN, OFFICE, WATER TANK, WIRELESS, CABLE LAYER, PERSONNEL, AND GENERAL SERVICE.
It Appears that you have a C-15 Two wheel drive..If it was four wheel drive it would be a C-15A..
