Wanted, some instruments for a cab 13
Hey all.
My first CMP and I'd like to get started gathering items I need. As you can see from this photo, some of the instruments are broken and some are missing; basementandtruck013.jpg http://i133.photobucket.com/albums/q...ndtruck013.jpg So I'd need a list of what's missing, and, hopefully, someone who has a few extras to sell. If anyone has a diagram or a close up photo of the instrument panel from a cab 13 1944 Chevy CMP, I would appreciate that as well.

Original instrument
Looks like the only original one you have is the temp, so apart from the speedo you'll need oil pressure, ammeter and fuel.

The round gauges are the same as most of the later US trucks used so you should be able to find some on some of the US sites.

Hi Pedro
The first thing I would do is buy a repair manual and a parts manual. Brian Asbury and Grant Bowker, both on this site, have excellent reproductions. Above all don't get discouraged as this restoration will take considerable time. You are starting off the job in the right way by stripping the truck of the non CMP gear. I would then do an evaluation of what you have and what you need. Remember you have been continually perusing those manuals while occupying the white throne.  Change all the fluids and try to get it moving to assess the drive train but be careful there are probably no brakes. The other guys in the west are great and some may be close to you. They can give you invaluable assistance. Again Brian Asbury (Ontario) has parts and someone will give you his phone number or I can get it for you. Dirk Leegwater in the Netherlands also has tons of stuff. Just Google LWD parts.Good luck and be patient. Barry

Um, how DO I get a hold of them? There is no search function for User names on this forum. Or, if there is, it's VERY well hidden...
