New Member requesting info

[gary_bath_jr]

Hey All

I am a new member here and am really liking the site, it's nice to see so many helpful people in one place.

I have 2 CMP's that I am working on getting back to original condition, one came with 3 of the 4 tags it should have. The only tag that is missing is body tags that has some important info.

I wa shoping someone could me with some of the history on the truck I have with the tags, the Vehicle Model Tag shows: C-15441-M-CABL-2, now from the original 1942 MB-C1 manual I have, I was able to figure out what most of that info means, the only thing I am unsure of is the CABL- does this mean Cable Layer?

The important Tag shows the Serial number as 2844415992, and the order number is LV. 316, vehicle built on June 5, 1942.

If anyone has info reagrding this truck or could tell me how to get the info, I would be very gratefull.

I know I have a heck of a project on my hands as I plan to get both trucks, (unfortunatly both are just Cab and Chassis) and 2 Universal Carriers, (sans Armour) back to thier original glory. I know this site is going to be a greta help for me.

Oh, almost forgot, if anyone knows where to get the OD green paint in Canada that would be awesome, I went to a supply store here and was told that 3 Gallons of paint, 2 gallons of Primer and some activator would cost over 3000, I almost pooped my pants.
