Chevrolet CMP 15CWT (brakes repair)

[McMann]

Hi to you all.
I've just bought a nice runner.
Before I can drive it home from Wales to The Netherlands the brakes have to be checked and made ready for going on the road.
The car has been in a barn for the last 10 years.
Who knows somebody who can do this for me?
Also wanted manuals, and other books about the Chevrolet CMP 15 CWT (cab 13)

... this is McMann's Chev Blitz



... glad you've found the way from HMVF to MLU.

Why drive it home? I think it is better to contact a transporter, Zandbergen from IJhorst already brought several WWII vehicles from GB to The Neterlands and they deliver at home.

Hi Hendrik,
Thanks for the info.
Zandbergen does not excist anymore.
They had to stop last april.

Anyway, I just arrived from Wales.
I had a quick spin in it.
The engines sound is like music

[McMann]

Yes, it is diesel music.
Sorry, I've forgotten to mention it.
But with the Dutch fuel prices a lot cheaper to drive

Update:

The brakes are done.
October the 20th we will fly to Wales and hope to get the CMP on a truck or towbar and bring it to it's new home.

So we have a nice profect for the wintermonths.
