Help wanted on early CMP C15

[Alex van de Wetering]

Reading your description somehow did ring a bell

Same here!
John, if this is indeed your truck..than you have certainly bought a nice Chev!!!

Alex does your remark on the body means that there where no C8 with the 2A1 body?

That's correct; a C8 would originally have had a 1A1/1A2 or 1B1/1B2 body. bodies starting with "2" were intended for the 15cwt trucks.

A quick way to tell a C8 from a C15 is the wheels size and the cab step...
A C15 has 16inch rims, a C8 has 13inch rims. C15 has a cab step, C8 does not have a cab step. There are lots more differences, but this is a start.

John, a picture of the engine would help....is it a 216? or could it be a 235? There are a few websites that cover engine numbers and casting numbers. I wonder if "0R CH dP" would indicate a rebuild at some stage (?)
