CMP Type
Gentlemen,
Been a while since I've been on line. Would like to know what type CMP this is in the photo. I know it has a No. 12 cab but what type bed. Is there a specific nomenclature for this vehicle? Thank you.

There isn't a lot of body showing from under the netting, but I think I see the hinge rod for the dropside of a 2B1 body that would be appropriate for the 12 cab.

It's a 1941 Chev C15A with the 2B1 body.
The image shows the various models that used the 2B1.

What load is this type 2B1 bed? 8Cwt,15Cwt,30Cwt,60Cwt?? Apologize men, I'm in the USA and don't know the CMP Weight Class numbering system.
One last question please. It is my understanding that the headlights are no longer available. Is there any substitute that works in the buckets? Thank you again.

Also, they were rated in long tons (2240 pounds) so 1 hundredweight (cwt) = 112 pounds is 1/20 ton (and each cwt could be broken down into 8 stones of 14 pounds).
More useless information for a Friday afternoon.

Yep, I have to agree Grant. More useless information to boggle the mind...LOL
I guess if you grow up learning these weights it's child's play. Unfortunately, at 57, to old to learn new stuff. However, I am getting the knack of metric system tools. Have to, cars are all metric now. Thank you all very much for the information. I know you've told new-comers this dribble before and it gets tiresome. Appreciate your indulging me. I've always liked the looks of this type truck since I was a kid. Time to research what's out there. I've been watching MilWeb and G503 for about 10 years. Any other sites I should scan through for a C15A with Cab No. 12 and 2B1 box? Never cared for the fender type boxes. Keep'em running
