Hi everybody.
I have already stripped the chevy and encountered the following things that I have not seen on another chevy here some pictures. the canvas flaps were mounted on the bottom of the cabin and thus protected the master cylinder from dirt. so on the other side there was one. the metal tray has split pins for I think protective felt. what would it have been for? , does anyone have an idea ?

Hi
we have a silver color inside the cabin, I have seen pictures of English tanks that are also silver inside. would this be original after a revision, by the English army? The original paint is still under the silver paint. 20170307_170056.jpg 20170307_170106.jpg Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 02-04-18 at 22:28. Reason: rotated the two pictures |

Hello Guy,
Nice project you have there! The silver paint on the interior is of a later date, possibly after an army rebuild or when in civilian use. When it left the factory it would have been painted the same colour as the exterior. Regards, Hanno

I think I am going to restore him as he came from the factory. in the meantime he has already been stripped almost completely, the car is in a very good condition, he only needs to be cleaned up, no rust; brakes the engine, radiator .are already overhauled. he once served as a tow truck in a garage in my neighborhood. the previous owner had dismantled the water tank and sold it to a local farmer in the 1960s. I had seen this water tank per accident under a shelter of a farm and the ball was rolling and so I came to the original water tanker (tow truck). unfortunately the garage owner has thrown away many original parts 5 years ago. such as filters and hand pumps that are so hard to find. 20170302_174304.jpg 20170302_174251.jpg 20170302_174329.jpg 20170307_170244.jpg 20170307_170215.jpg Last edited by Hanno Spoelstra; 03-04-18 at 22:24.

the sawn-off rear compartment was mounted on the passenger side instead of a fuel tank. unfortunately there is a piece of 10 "shortened from the top, in the frame there is also a hole, is this hole provided to allow the cardan shaft to continue for the drive of the power pump? Does anyone have an idea? power take or is also present at the transmission, it used to be used to power the winch.
I think the winch is the same as on a ford gtb mounted. |
