he he ..the guy usually carries bulldozers around with the big Kenworth .
The cast brass plate on the dash says 1941 like most of them do here. The steering whel is mostly rotted away ...a common thing .
The chassis is good on this one ........... phew
As these are prone to rusting badly on these little trucks.
Tony , it aint a CMP but the CMP prototypes were based on these pre-war 1930's pommy trucks ... e.g., wheel size and the wheelbase is 98" .
With only around 21,000 CS8's made there are not that many left these days . And, considering that production stopped sometime around 1941 and they went through the early WW2 campaigns where many were lost in battle or abandoned to enemy forces.
